Uplaoding 7 images crashes the page

[Guest]

guys,
this is a pretty bizare issue, i have an ASP.NET page( VS 2003) , frame
work 1.1.
I have 7 file browser control on the page with 7 images boxes. User browses
to his local file directory using file these browser control and selects the
images to upload. They can select 7 images in 7 file browsers controls and
hit on submit. File size of each on these images on an average is 600KB +.
When the user hits on submit , these files are posted to the website where
using Drawing namespace( and i guess another one, i dont remember), i redraw
the image with different compression value( guess that was compression ,
which resizes the image to a smaller size 25 kb) and save it to the folder on
the webserver and update the database with the name of the images. All goes
well when i am uploading 3-4 images at a time. When i select all the 7
images, the pages crahses. This happen even on my development environment. I
am 100% certain there is no bug in my code, did a lot of debugging. I even
try to have breakpoint on page_int, Page load, submit button and all other
events and functions but as soon as i hit on submit after selecting 7 images,
the page show "page could not be found " error in jsut 1 sec and It does not
even go to any of the events. It is almost as if there is a limit to what can
be uploaded from the browse. Can any body shed some light on this issue, why
can't i upload all the 7 images at the same time ?

thanks in Advance
Sameer

It's possible the uploads are causing the worker process to exceed a
memory threshold and the process is being recycled.

I'm guessing the page is timing out,

A much better approach, and this one will protect your web server is to
upload the images to a directory then have a background worker process
that does the conversion

The user will have to wait for the images to be resized
