Simply resize an uploaded image
I got an E-Mail from a student this morning asking how to thumbnail an uploaded image. Here is a "quick" solution (there are a few things you can do to increase quality, set JPEG compression factor or keep gif transparency). If you like to dig deeper have a look at one of the articles i wrote for the DotNetPro magazine's #Talk column (dnp0305_Thumbnail.pdf [German])

 

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>

 

<script runat="server" Language="C#">

 

    public void UploadFile(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        System.Drawing.Image _img =
             System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(
             this.InputTypeFile.PostedFile.InputStream);

 

        int _maxWidth = 100;

        int _maxHeight = 100;

 

        int _width = _img.Width;

        int _height = _img.Height;

 

        string _filename =

              System.IO.Path.GetFileName(

              this.InputTypeFile.PostedFile.FileName);

           

        string _uploadPath = System.IO.Path.Combine(

            Server.MapPath(".\\upload\\"),

            _filename);

       

        if (_width > _height)

        {

            width = Math.Abs((int)(height *

                        _img.Width /

                        _img.Height));

            _height = _maxHeight;

        }

        else

        {

            _height = Math.Abs((int)(_maxWidth *

                        _img.Height /

                        _img.Width));

            _width = _maxWidth;

        }

       

        System.Drawing.Image _newImg =

            _img.GetThumbnailImage(width, height, null, null);

           _newImg.Save(_uploadPath);

           _img.Dispose();

    }

 

</script>

<body>

    <form id="form1" runat="server">

 

    <input id="InputTypeFile" type="file" runat="server" />

    <asp:Button ID="Submit" OnClick="UploadFile" Text="Upload" />

 

    </form>

</body>

</html>
