Error: A Generic Error occurred in GDI+

Hi Dear,

Here I am trying to upload a photo.

protected void LoadImage()        {
            string UserName = Session["UserName"].ToString();

            byte[] Data = Profile.GetImageData(UserName); //Stmt Correct where profile is class
           
            if (Data != null)
            {
                MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(Data);

                Bitmap bitmap = null;
                bitmap = new Bitmap(stream);

                bitmap.Save(Server.MapPath(@"~\UserPhoto.bmp"), system.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp); 
                //Error:A Generic   Error occurred in GDI+            
                bitmap.Dispose();
                imgPhoto.ImageUrl = @"~\UserPhoto.bmp";            }     }

I have created virtual directory and trying to open it directly from browser

I think the problem occurs while opening up your virtual directory as you have earlier used Server.MapPath( );

TIP: When you are writing your question, there is a button on the tool bar that wraps the [code] tags around your copy/pasted code. It helps a bunch. Its the button with a '#' on it. More on tags. They're cool. Check'em out.

bitmap.Save(Server.MapPath(@"~\UserPhoto.bmp"), system.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp);

I don't see any error checking.
What if you don't have write permissions to the directory?
What if an image of that name already exists in the directory?
Are you sure the MapPath function with that string literal is valid and not something like: Server\Userfold er\~\UserPhoto. bmp
