VS 2008 Generic Error Occurred In GDI+" - Saving Image From Picture Box?

Apr 3, 2009

I've written a simple application to encrypt an image (jpeg file) based on a password as a challenge to a mate of mine who reckons he's an ace hacker.I can encrypt the image no problem but when I try to save it using

[Code]...

I get "a generic error occurred in GDI+" raised. Googling reveals a few hits for this problem but seemingly mostly related to using databases rather than the file system.

Has anyone come across this? I don't want to paste all my code here in case my nemesis is watching, however basically I'm getting a reference to the PictureBox's Image property and manipulating the pixels using GetPixel and SetPixel, and then setting the picturebox's image property = my modified bitmap.

I understand that the error is generally related to the bitmap not being ready to be saved - is there anything specific I need to do to "close" the bitmap so it can be saved?The strange thing is that I'm sure this was working earlier today and now seems to have arbitrarily stopped working.

Interface And Graphics :: Saving An Image To A Folder (A Generic Error Occurred In GDI+)?

Jun 24, 2011

I have a problem when trying to save a picture box image ( I am using vb2008 express edition)When i load my windows form I create a folder called images and the current date (eg images 24062011) using the following code.

Code:
Dim fold As String = "images" & " " & Format(Now(), "ddMMyyyy")
If My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists("C:usersmickdesktop" & fold) Then
MsgBox(" file exists")

[code].....

this works fine and creates the folder on my desktop. I then load an image into a picturebox and try to save it using the following code which is where the problem starts.

Code:
Dim filename As String = Format(Now(), "ddMMyyyy")
Dim imagename As String = "image"
Dim fileext As String = Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp.ToString

[code].....

so my problem is why does the 1st statement give me the error as surely as I have declared that fold = the folder name then that path should be correct, as the program is set to save the image automatically, not using the savefiledialogue I don't want to have to manually type in the folder name every time I use the program.

A Generic Error Occurred In GDI+ While Saving

Jun 2, 2011

My app has an image in it in a picture box. I need the end user to be able to change it. So the code I added below should do that. However, I get the "A generic error occurred in GDI+. while saving".I understand it as this- possibly an error saving it to C:?? Because when I save it to a folder such as MyPictures or Pictures it saves A-ok. [code]

I have a problem with this code. If i start the program and click on save.The program saves the picture. If i reload the picturebox and save it again i get the error :A generic error occurred in GDI+.I think the problem is that the File is being used by another process.So i think i can't rewrite the bmp file.

VS 2008 Saving A Picture To A Database?

Dec 18, 2009

I have some pictureboxes on this form set up to allow me to browse for images, then select one and show it in the box. How can I save the picture I pick so it updates a database and will show that picture when I cycle through the data in the program? It would be an SQL database and it already has columns for the picture. I don't know if I should store the path to the image or the image itself.

VS 2008 Saving Picture To A Database?

Dec 27, 2009

I've made a code which updates my database using a dataset and data binding source. I can retrieve all fields in the database including the �Picture� field which is set to �OLE Object� however I cannot update this. The Picture field in the dataset is set to type System,.Byte. I�ve search these forums and found how to do it manually which I can do and works but when it comes to the BindingSource.EndEdit section it still tries to update my �Picture� field and fails due to a type failure.

It was �System.InvalidCastException: Failed to convert parameter value from a Byte[] to a String. --->� What can I do to correct this? Below is my code. Note the image saves under the hard coding but not in the second part of the code.

Dim connection As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(My.Settings.AirportsConnectionString)
Dim command As New OleDb.OleDbCommand("UPDATE Airports SET Picture = @Picture WHERE ID = " & TextBox10.Text, connection)
'Create an Image object.
