I was creating an image in C# by using code similar to:

public void SaveImage()
{
    byte[] byteArray = null; // Put the bytes of the image here....

    Image result = null;
    ImageFormat format = ImageFormat.Png;
    using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(byteArray))
    {
        result = Image.FromStream(ms);
    }

    using (Image imageToExport = result)
    {
        string filePath = string.Format(@"C:\Temp\Myfile.{0}", format.ToString());
        imageToExport.Save(filePath, format);
    }
}

This resulted in the error: "A generic error occurred in GDI+."

The error was resolved, after changing the code to:

public void SaveImage()
{
    byte[] byteArray = null; // Put the bytes of the image here....

    Image result = null;
    ImageFormat format = ImageFormat.Png;
    
  result = new Bitmap(new MemoryStream(byteArray));



    using (Image imageToExport = result)

    {

        string filePath = string.Format(@"C:\Temp\Myfile.{0}", format.ToString());

        imageToExport.Save(filePath, format);

    }

}

Hello

I find on web that you have similar error like I get now and I don’t know how to resole.

In my C#.NET application I catch webcam picture in pictureBox and try to save on disk with SaveFileDialog, but I get always the same error “A generic error occurred in GDI+”. Code is blow, if you can help…

=======================

SaveFileDialog sfd = new SaveFileDialog();

            sfd.InitialDirectory = @”slike”;

            sfd.Filter = “*.jpg|*.jpg”;

            sfd.Title = “Spremi sliku kao…”;

            sfd.FilterIndex = 1;

            if (sfd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)

            {

                try

                {

                    using (Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(pictureBox1.Image))

                    {

                        bitmap.Save(sfd.FileName, ImageFormat.Jpeg);

                        sfd.Dispose();//To Do…. isprobaj

                        bitmap.Dispose();//To Do…. isprobaj

                    }

                    MessageBox.Show(“Slika je spremljena!      “, “Spremanje slike”,

                            MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
                }

                catch (Exception ex)

                {

                    MessageBox.Show(“Greška pri spremanju slike: \n” + ex.Message);

                }

                finally

                {

                    sfd.Dispose();// to check…..

                }

            }

            sfd.Dispose();// to check…..

            button6.Enabled = true;

            button7.Enabled = false;

            button8.Enabled = false;

            button9.Enabled = false;

            pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(“nemaslike.jpg”);

            this.WebCamCapture.Stop();

            textBox1.Focus();
