C# image processing, useful for resizing images and making thumbnails

/ Published in: C#

Just call "ProcessImageAndItsThumbnail" with your newly uploaded image's URL, and it will resize it for you, and make a thumbnail as well. Just remember to set the sizes you want for these new images.

protected void ProcessImageAndItsThumbnail(string url)
{
    //make memory streams to work with the image bytes
    MemoryStream imageStream = new MemoryStream();
    MemoryStream thumbStream = new MemoryStream();

//using, so resources get disposed automagically
    //using the uploaded image (which might be huge)
    using (System.Drawing.Image img = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(Server.MapPath(url)))
    {
        //for the new resized image
        System.Drawing.Image newImage;

//if the size is greater than 600 x 450, scale it down
        if ((img.Size.Width > 600) && (img.Size.Height > 450))
        {
            newImage = img.GetThumbnailImage(600, 450, new System.Drawing.Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort(ThumbnailCallback), System.IntPtr.Zero);
        }
        else
            newImage = img;

//and then create a thumbnail too
        System.Drawing.Image thumb = img.GetThumbnailImage(200, 150, new System.Drawing.Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort(ThumbnailCallback), System.IntPtr.Zero);

//for the new image
        Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(newImage);
        g.InterpolationMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBilinear;
