ASP.NET Image uploading with Resizing

Question

I have an aspx page which will upload images to server harddisk from client pc

But now i need to change my program in such a way that it would allow me to resize the image while uploading.

Does anyone has any idea on this ? I couldnt not find such properties/methods with Input file server control

Any one there to guide me ?

Once the file has been saved to the server you can use code like this to resize. This code will take care of length/width ratio on the resize.

public static Bitmap CreateThumbnail(string lcFilename, int lnWidth, int lnHeight)
{

    System.Drawing.Bitmap bmpOut = null;

    try
    {
        Bitmap loBMP = new Bitmap(lcFilename);
        ImageFormat loFormat = loBMP.RawFormat;

        decimal lnRatio;
        int lnNewWidth = 0;
        int lnNewHeight = 0;

        if (loBMP.Width < lnWidth && loBMP.Height < lnHeight)
            return loBMP;

        if (loBMP.Width > loBMP.Height)
        {
            lnRatio = (decimal)lnWidth / loBMP.Width;
            lnNewWidth = lnWidth;
            decimal lnTemp = loBMP.Height * lnRatio;
            lnNewHeight = (int)lnTemp;
        }
        else
        {
            lnRatio = (decimal)lnHeight / loBMP.Height;
            lnNewHeight = lnHeight;
            decimal lnTemp = loBMP.Width * lnRatio;
            lnNewWidth = (int)lnTemp;
        }


        bmpOut = new Bitmap(lnNewWidth, lnNewHeight);
        Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmpOut);
        g.InterpolationMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
        g.SmoothingMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
        g.CompositingQuality = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
        g.PixelOffsetMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;
        g.FillRectangle(Brushes.White, 0, 0, lnNewWidth, lnNewHeight);
        g.DrawImage(loBMP, 0, 0, lnNewWidth, lnNewHeight);

        loBMP.Dispose();
    }
    catch
    {
        return null;
    }
    return bmpOut;
}
