GDI+ error saving a jpg

I have some code that saves a jpg image, which works fine locally, but when I publish to discountasp.net, I get the following error when my site tries to save the image. It's being saved to a folder within my project. Has anyone else had trouble saving jpg files programmatically? Thanks in advance!

Code:

Server Error in '/' Application.
A generic error occurred in GDI+.

Ummm, nevermind. It's because VS never published the empty directory that I created to store my images, so the save-to path was invalid. I put a dummy file in my save-to directory, which forced VS to publish the folder, now all is well. Didn't know VS wouldn't publish an empty folder.

 

Glad you figured it out!
