' Create new stream. ' Dim stream As New FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read) ' Create new image. Dim image As System.Drawing.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(Stream) ' Calculate proportional max width and height. Dim oldWidth As Integer = image.Width Dim oldHeight As Integer = image.Height If (CDec(oldWidth) / CDec(oldHeight)) > (CDec(newWidth) / CDec(newHeight)) Then Dim ratio As Decimal = CDec(newWidth) / oldWidth newHeight = CInt((oldHeight * ratio)) Else Dim ratio As Decimal = CDec(newHeight) / oldHeight newWidth = CInt((oldWidth * ratio)) End If ' Create a new bitmap with the same resolution as the original image. Dim bitmap As New Bitmap(newWidth, newHeight, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb) bitmap.SetResolution(image.HorizontalResolution, image.VerticalResolution) ' Create a new graphic. Dim graphics__1 As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap) graphics__1.Clear(Color.White) graphics__1.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic ' Create a scaled image based on the original. graphics__1.DrawImage(image, New Rectangle(0, 0, newWidth, newHeight), New Rectangle(0, 0, oldWidth, oldHeight), GraphicsUnit.Pixel) graphics__1.Dispose() ' Save the scaled image. bitmap.Save(Server.MapPath("Images/") & strDestinationFileName, image.RawFormat)
