How to create Bitmap from file on server - parameter is not valid

Question

HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest(imageName, "http://panonest.com", "");
var imgSrc=req.MapPath("~/view/vacantapredeal/vacantapredeal.jpg");
Bitmap img = new Bitmap(imgSrc);

How should I do this? I get a parameter is not valid exception, which is thrown by the Bitmap constructor.

Answer 1

here is another way to do it:

  WebClient MyWebClient = new WebClient();
    byte[] BytesImage = MyWebClient.DownloadData("http://www.google.com/intl/en_com/images/srpr/logo3w.png");
    System.IO.MemoryStream iStream= new System.IO.MemoryStream(BytesImage);
    System.Drawing.Bitmap b = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(iStream);

Good luck!
