From what I've researched, the error usually is due a permission related issue but you may want to check your User/Quota Manager to make sure that the Anonymous ASPNet User has sufficient disk space. Winston DiscountASP.NET
Thanks Winston, I am actually developing/testing this on my vista box at home. There is plenty of disk space andI have tried giving the "Everyone" read/write access to the directory and still the same error. very frustrating!
I have been banging my head against the wall for about an hour now and cannot figure out why I am getting (or how to fix) the following error when I am trying to save a BitMap via a web app. System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException: A generic error occurred in GDI+ The code looks like this... Bitmap theWall = new Bitmap(Server.MapPath("~/App_Themes/Default/images/wall.jpg")); Graphics text = Graphics.FromImage(theWall); text.TextRenderingHint = System.Drawing.Text.TextRenderingHint.AntiAlias; text.DrawString(tbTeam.Text, new Font("Tahoma", 40), Brushes.White, new PointF(20, 20)); theWall.Save(Server.MapPath("~/App_Themes/Default/images/wall.jpg"), ImageFormat.Jpeg); From what I have read this is a permissions issue but I can't seem to fix it. I'm running Vista Business, IIS7 and developing in Visual Studio 2008 (C#). Help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!! Rookie
