Image resizing from a class?

Hello all,

I found some code that resizes an uploaded image ( stream ) to a pre-determined size.

Using this code, it works perfectly..

Code:

---

' make sure we have a file .
        If FileUpload3.HasFile Then

            Dim name As String = FileUpload3.PostedFile.FileName
            Dim Justname As String = Path.GetFileName(name)
            Dim length As Integer = FileUpload3.PostedFile.ContentLength

            '  Response.Write("<hr>name:" & Justname & "<hr>")
            '  Response.Write("<hr>Len:" & length & "<hr>")

            Dim imageBytes As Byte() = New Byte(length - 1) {}
            Dim imageStream As Stream = FileUpload3.PostedFile.InputStream
            ' imageStream.Read(imageBytes, 0, length)

            '  Context.Response.BinaryWrite(ImgResizeer(imageStream, 200))
         
            Using Bitmap1 As System.Drawing.Bitmap = System.Drawing.Bitmap.FromStream(imageStream)
                Dim Width1 As Integer = Bitmap1.Width
                Dim Height1 As Integer = Bitmap1.Height

                ' define the width for this file.
                If Width1 > 250 Then
                    Dim Width2 As Integer = 250
                    Dim Height2 As Integer = Height1 * Width2 / Width1

                    Using Bitmap2 As System.Drawing.Bitmap = New System.Drawing.Bitmap(Width2, Height2)

                        Using Graphics1 As System.Drawing.Graphics = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(Bitmap2)
                            Graphics1.DrawImage(Bitmap1, 0, 0, Width2, Height2)
                        End Using

                        Using MemoryStream2 As New System.IO.MemoryStream
                            Bitmap2.Save(MemoryStream2, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png)
                            Context.Response.BinaryWrite(MemoryStream2.ToArray)
                        End Using
                    End Using
                End If

            End Using

        End If

What I'd like to do is move this code into a Class so I can call it from other pages, so I created a class and added this code...

Code:

---

Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.IO
Imports System
Imports System.Xml
Imports System.Xml.Xsl
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.DirectoryServices
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Drawing


Public Class ImageStreamResize

    Public Function ImgResizeer(imageStream As Stream, requiredWidth As Integer) As Stream
        Dim finalStr As Stream = imageStream

        Using Bitmap1 As System.Drawing.Bitmap = System.Drawing.Bitmap.FromStream(imageStream)
            Dim Width1 As Integer = Bitmap1.Width
            Dim Height1 As Integer = Bitmap1.Height

            ' define the width for this file.
            If Width1 > requiredWidth Then
                Dim Width2 As Integer = requiredWidth
                Dim Height2 As Integer = Height1 * Width2 / Width1

                Using Bitmap2 As System.Drawing.Bitmap = New System.Drawing.Bitmap(Width2, Height2)
                    Using Graphics1 As System.Drawing.Graphics = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(Bitmap2)
                        Graphics1.DrawImage(Bitmap1, 0, 0, Width2, Height2)
                    End Using

                    Using MemoryStream2 As New System.IO.MemoryStream
                        Bitmap2.Save(MemoryStream2, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png)
                        finalStr = MemoryStream2
                    End Using
                End Using
            End If
        End Using

        Return finalStr

    End Function

End Class

As you can see, I'm trying to pass in a stream and defined width, and I want it to pass back the image ( if the size if greater than what I expected.

I'm trying to call the class like so.

Code:

---

    ' make sure we have a file and that we have an ID to set it to.
        If FileUpload3.HasFile Then

            Dim name As String = FileUpload3.PostedFile.FileName
            Dim Justname As String = Path.GetFileName(name)
            Dim length As Integer = FileUpload3.PostedFile.ContentLength

            '  Response.Write("<hr>name:" & Justname & "<hr>")
            '  Response.Write("<hr>Len:" & length & "<hr>")

            Dim imageBytes As Byte() = New Byte(length - 1) {}
            Dim imageStream As Stream = FileUpload3.PostedFile.InputStream
            ' imageStream.Read(imageBytes, 0, length)

            Context.Response.BinaryWrite(cc.imgStr.ImgResizeer(imageStream, 200))
         
        End If

---

Don't worry about the cc.imgStr this is just the path to my class which is defined futher up.

The Error I get is "Value of type system.io.stream, cannot be converted to ' 1 dimensional array of byte' "


Any help would be most appreciated!

Many thanks
Dave

Its OK, I fixed it :)

output as MemoryStream...

Public Function ImgResizeer(imageStream As Stream, requiredWidth As Integer) As MemoryStream


Also.

Write out to toArray

Context.Response.BinaryWrite(cc.imgStr.ImgResizeer(imageStream, 200).ToArray)


Works great..
