How to resize image upon uploading to database in asp.net mvc?

i want to resize an image before it is saved on my mysql database.. how will i process it? i have here the code for view, controller, and model.

View:

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<%=url.action("PhotoInsert") %>">
    <%Using Html.BeginForm()%>
    <p>
    <label for="despcription">Caption :</label>
    <%=Html.TextArea("caption")%>
    </p>
    <p>
    <label for="image">Image : </label>
    <input type="file" id="image" name="image" />
    </p>
    <input type="submit" value="Insert" />
    <%End Using%>
</form>

Controller:

Function PhotoInsert(ByVal caption As String, ByVal image As HttpPostedFileBase) As ActionResult
    UploadDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(Request.PhysicalApplicationPath)
    Dim fileName As String = Path.GetFileName(image.FileName)
    Dim fullUploadpath As String = Path.Combine(UploadDirectory, fileName)
    image.SaveAs(fullUploadpath)
    dPhotos.pictureInsert(image:=image.FileName, caption:=caption)
End Function

Model:

Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Data

Public Class ClassPhotosConnection
Inherits ClassConnection
    Public Sub pictureInsert(ByVal image As String, ByVal caption As String)
    Dim insert As String = String.Format("INSERT INTO pictures(Image, Caption) VALUES  ('{0}','{1}')", image, caption)
    UpdateData(insert)
    End Sub
End Class

Thank you!:)

Tiff, I quickly wrote this during my lunch break from various sites. It's in no way normalised and there are things that you can do better but given all the run-around you've had on this I thought giving you something that works would be good enough for now.

So here it is. I have run and tested it and it works no probs.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;

namespace ImageResize
{
    class Program
    {
        private static byte[] ImageData;
        private static byte[] SmallImageData;
        private static Bitmap bmp;

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            LoadImageIntoByteArray();
            LoadByteArrayAsBitmap();
            SaveFromStream();
        }

        private static void SaveFromStream()
        {
            using (Image img = Image.FromStream(new MemoryStream(SmallImageData)))
            {
                img.Save(@"flowers_thumb.jpg", ImageFormat.Jpeg);
            }
        }

        private static void LoadByteArrayAsBitmap()
        {
            MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(ImageData);
            bmp = new Bitmap(ms);
            System.Drawing.Image oImg = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(ms);
            System.Drawing.Image oThumbNail = new Bitmap(100, 100);
            Graphics oGraphic = Graphics.FromImage(oThumbNail);
            oGraphic.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
            oGraphic.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
            oGraphic.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
            Rectangle oRectangle = new Rectangle
                (0, 0, 100, 100);
            oGraphic.DrawImage(oImg, oRectangle);


            MemoryStream ms2 = new MemoryStream();
            oThumbNail.Save(ms2, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
            ms2.Position = 0;
            SmallImageData = new byte[ms2.Length];
            ms2.Read(SmallImageData, 0, Convert.ToInt32(ms2.Length));
            oGraphic.Dispose();
            oImg.Dispose();
            ms2.Close();
            ms2.Dispose();
        }

        private static void LoadImageIntoByteArray()
        {
            FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(@"flowers.jpg");
            ImageData = new byte[fs.Length];
            fs.Read(ImageData, 0, ImageData.Length);
            fs.Close();
        }
    }
}

You'll need to load the image and then use something like;

public Bitmap ResizeBitmap( Bitmap b, int nWidth, int nHeight )
{
  Bitmap result = new Bitmap( nWidth, nHeight );
  using( Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage( (Image) result ) )
    g.DrawImage( b, 0, 0, nWidth, nHeight );
  return result;
}

Untested but I used something like this in a previous project.
