I am having a problem saving an image with the same name it originally had. I have two similar versions of my code, one in which I close the FileStream used to open the original image before saving, the other in which I close the FileStream afterwards, although both return the same error. Here are the two versions of the code and the errors they each return (NOTE: I rebooted immediately before running each of these versions so that I knew they were run under exactly the same conditions, I think the FileStream gets left open because the error occurs before I can close it):
Here is the one where I save it first:
Dim frogbitmap As Bitmap
Dim frogstream As New IO.FileStream(S erver.MapPath(" images/frog2.gif"), IO.FileMode.Ope n)
frogbitmap = New Bitmap(frogstre am)
frogbitmap.Save (Server.MapPath ("images/frog2.gif"), Imaging.ImageFo rmat.Gif)

You're right, the image was invalid (I probably didn't realize that it became invalid because of one of my other errors). I fixed that, and now I get an error during the Save method. Here is the error:

The error is exactly the same regardless of whether the Save or Close methods are called first. Would using a FileStream when saving my image solve the problem? I think the error is somehow related to the fact that I am reading from and writing to the same file, because if I use the same code with two different files, it works perfect. Thanks.

You should Close stream first, that's for sure. And make sure you have write privileges to that file.

I'm sure that you have more experience with Streams than me, but here are some tests I did along with their results:
I checked for ASPNET Write privileges, and it does have them, both for the file and the images directory
To test that it was not a problem with Write privileges, I ran the code using images/frog.gif as the source for the FileStream. When I did this, it would only work when I did the Save BEFORE the Close.
Although I have a way to make the code work to "copy" an image, it does not seem to work when trying to "modify" an image (well, my code doesn't really modify it right now, but you get the point). I think that all the Streams involved in the opening and saving end up interfering with each other somehow when saving with the same name, but I'm not sure how, and I'm having trouble figuring it out because I don't have a lot of experience with Streams in VB.NET. At the moment, that is the only idea I have, so although I plan to keep trying, I would appreciate any help that can be given. Thanks.

I am having a problem saving an image with the same name it originally had. I have two similar versions of my code, one in which I close the FileStream used to open the original image before saving, the other in which I close the FileStream afterwards, although both return the same error. Here are the two versions of the code and the errors they each return (NOTE: I rebooted immediately before running each of these versions so that I knew they were run under exactly the same conditions, I think the FileStream gets left open because the error occurs before I can close it):
Here is the one where I save it first:
Dim frogbitmap As Bitmap
Dim frogstream As New IO.FileStream(S erver.MapPath(" images/frog2.gif"), IO.FileMode.Ope n)
frogbitmap = New Bitmap(frogstre am)

Hi Nathan,
To rule out any asp.net issue I suggest you to try it in a winforms or console application.

I'm sure that you have more experience with Streams than me, but here are some tests I did along with their results:
I checked for ASPNET Write privileges, and it does have them, both for the file and the images directory
To test that it was not a problem with Write privileges, I ran the code using images/frog.gif as the source for the FileStream. When I did this, it would only work when I did the Save BEFORE the Close.
Although I have a way to make the code work to "copy" an image, it does not seem to work when trying to "modify" an image (well, my code doesn't really modify it right now, but you get the point). I think that all the Streams involved in the opening and saving end up interfering with each other somehow when saving with the same name, but I'm not sure how, and I'm having trouble figuring it out because I don't have a lot of experience with Streams in VB.NET. At the moment, that is the only idea I have, so although I plan to keep trying, I would appreciate any help that can be given. Thanks.

You should Close stream first, that's for sure. And make sure you have write privileges to that file.

You're right, the image was invalid (I probably didn't realize that it became invalid because of one of my other errors). I fixed that, and now I get an error during the Save method. Here is the error:

The error is exactly the same regardless of whether the Save or Close methods are called first. Would using a FileStream when saving my image solve the problem? I think the error is somehow related to the fact that I am reading from and writing to the same file, because if I use the same code with two different files, it works perfect. Thanks.

I not familiar with creating console applications. As for winforms, just to make sure, is that basically a Windows application written using ..NET? I have written Windows applications using VB (that was before .NET even existed), so I want to make sure that I am understanding what you are suggesting.

I am having a problem saving an image with the same name it originally had. I have two similar versions of my code, one in which I close the FileStream used to open the original image before saving, the other in which I close the FileStream afterwards, although both return the same error. Here are the two versions of the code and the errors they each return (NOTE: I rebooted immediately before running each of these versions so that I knew they were run under exactly the same conditions, I think the FileStream gets left open because the error occurs before I can close it):
Here is the one where I save it first:
Dim frogbitmap As Bitmap
Dim frogstream As New IO.FileStream(S erver.MapPath(" images/frog2.gif"), IO.FileMode.Ope n)
frogbitmap = New Bitmap(frogstre am)
frogbitmap.Save (Server.MapPath ("images/frog2.gif"), Imaging.ImageFo rmat.Gif)
frogstream.Clos e()
Invalid parameter used.

I know that Server.MapPath( "images/frog2.gif") returns the correct path. I appreciate any help you can offer, thank you all in advance.

We had a VB6 program that was used to take a scanned signature image as a set
of screen coordinates.
The VB6 program then converted this into a bitmap file which we used to
embed the signature in certain documents such as invoices.
The code was recently ported to VB.NET. We are using the BitMap and
DataPoint objects to convert the data to a bitmap file, then saving it using
a .NET PictureBox.
The problem is that apparently the bitmap...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
