Resize image from postef file without saving to disk VB.net?

P: 8
Hi,
I've just made the change from ASP to .net.
I have a file (code below) that saves a user submitted file to a MS SQL 2005 database. It collects the file name, file size, file type, and lastly the binary data for the file.
I can sucessfully take the files out of the databse again and display them in a data grid.
I would like to resize the submitted file to a fixed size (say 180 x 120) before I upload it to the database and do this without saving it to a temporary file on the servers HDD.
I also do not want to use the "thumbnail method" as I want to keep the quality of the resized smaller images as high as possible.
The code below is stripped down and does not have any validation to check for files that are not images etc, I will add that later. I also don't mind if i can only rezise and store in the database jpeg and gif files, but I need to be able handle at least these two image types.

After some more work I've come up with this, it doesn't come up with an error at run time, and when i check the database there is data in it and the size of the file has decreased, but the image doesn't display, the other images in the database the were uploaded with the original file work fine.
The code of the updated file is below.
