I have written an aspx web app which generates a bitmap and then saves it to the images folder. The app works fine when I run it within VS 2005. When I browse to the application using a web url, I get a "Generic error occured in GDI+ when it tries to save the file. The line of code is
Code:imgPath = Server.MapPath("~/images/Brot.bmp")
<snip>
PlotBmp(bmp, siz, rectD, 2, imax)
bmp.save(imgPath) '<--Error occurs here.
have you checked permissions on the /images folder. Making sure the ASP.NET Worker process Or the IUSR Machine account actually has permissions to save the file to this folder.
A Generic GDI+ error generally means you dont have permissions to write to that folder.

What exactly should I check for? I think the settings are the same on on another computer where it actually works.
check the permissions on the folder where you are storing the images. Make sure your IUSR_MACHINENAME or ASPNET worker process has sufficient rights to write to that folder.

I've tried giving all kinds of permissions, but it still doesn't work.
Your answer is hardly enough for me to help you. One line answers are not going to yield you much help. How about some specifics regarding your infastructure, the code your using, the ACTUAL permissions you have tried, etc. We are offering help but we are not mind readers, "All kinds of permissions" tells me absolutly nothing.Quote:

The version of windows also matters.....
Now that I got it working in XP Pro, how do I get it working in Vista?
