Overwrite image

[Arjen]

Hi,

I read an image:
Image originalBitmap = Image.FromFile("C:\temp\123.jpg", true);

Make a resized copy of it:
Image result = originalBitmap.GetThumbnailImage(100, 200, null,
IntPtr.Zero);

And save it under the original name:
result.Save("C:\temp\123.jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);

Well, this does not work. Does this mean I have to close something first?
Can and how can I use the using statement here?
I need to save the file under te same name (overwrite)... can someone help?

Thanks!
Arjen

Image.FromFile locks the original file until you dispose of it ..

Open the file as stream then use Image.FromStream .. you can then
immediately close the stream.
