c# - Check uploaded image's dimensions

Question

I'm using asp.net 3.5 and c# on my web site. Here is my question:

I have an upload button and asp:Image on a page. An user can upload an image from his computer and that image will be displayed in the asp:image. But before I display the image, I would like to check the width and height of the uploaded image. How do I do this?

Answer 1

    Image img = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("test.jpg");
    int width = img.Width;
    int height = img.Height;

You may need to add the System.Drawing reference.

You may also use the FromStream function if you have not saved the image to disk yet, but looking at how you're using the image (viewable by user in an Image control), I suspect it's already on disk. Stream to image may or may not be faster than disk to image. You might want to do some profiling to see which has better performance.
