There are so many things wrong with this code.... from the inefficient double-loading of the image, to the lack of using(){} statements... to ... nevermind.... Just Google "image resizing pitfalls", you'll see this article...... Leaking memory isn't so bad in a client app, but if you're doing GDI stuff in an ASP.NET app, you shouldn't be.... At least use a library designed to avoid all the GDI bugs and pitfalls.

This code is usefull, especially with ASP.NET. I used a similar algorithm that I wrote myself to resize images that were uploaded to my ASP.NET web application, but I did not set the Interpolation Mode or Pixel Offset Mode. That's a new one, even for me.
