Hi.

This story is about uploading jpg's, then resize them to fixed width or
height and storing them to an SQL table.
The only way I have found so far is to read the uploaded file to an
image-variable, then using the method of creating thumbnails for the
resizing. Next, I write this to a temp file on the disk, and read the file
back to a byte array in order to insert/update the SQL table.

Now, this works well, and even fast enough, no problem really. I just
irritate myself by the fact that I do the format converting by temp file
saving to the HDD. To perfect this I really want to perform this in memory.
Anynone that has an idea for this?

Bjorn,
Have you tried using a MemoryStream? You should be able to save the
image to a MemoryStream then use the ToArray() method (I think that's the
one) of the MemoryStream to generate a byte array.
