System.Drawing.Graphics Drawimage rotates picture taken from IOS to 90 degree

Question

I have the following code which gets an image uploaded and draws it in 150 by 200 div using System.Drawing.Graphics but when the image is taken from IOS device the picture is rotated to 90 degree right.

FYI: I had the same issue drawing the image in JavaScript canvas and This solution worked for me. Therefore I am looking for an equivalent solution in C#

     private System.Drawing.Image ResizeAndDraw(System.Drawing.Image objTempImage)
            {
                Size objSize = new Size(150, 200);
                Bitmap objBmp;
                objBmp = new Bitmap(objSize.Width, objSize.Height);

                Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(objBmp);
                g.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
                g.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
                g.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;
                //Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(x, y, thumbSize.Width, thumbSize.Height);
                Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0,0,150,200);
                //g.DrawImage(objTempImage, rect, 0, 0, objTempImage.Width, objTempImage.Height, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
                g.DrawImage(objTempImage, rect);
                return objBmp;
            }

I solved the problem from the answer posted Here He wrote a simple helper class that does all that:

you can check the full source code here.

    private System.Drawing.Image ResizeAndDraw(System.Drawing.Image objTempImage)
        {
          // call image helper to fix the orientation issue 
            var temp = ImageHelper.RotateImageByExifOrientationData(objTempImage, true);
            Size objSize = new Size(150, 200);
            Bitmap objBmp;
            objBmp = new Bitmap(objSize.Width, objSize.Height);

            Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(objBmp);
            g.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
            g.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
            g.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;
            //Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(x, y, thumbSize.Width, thumbSize.Height);
            Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0,0,150,200);
            //g.DrawImage(objTempImage, rect, 0, 0, objTempImage.Width, objTempImage.Height, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
            g.DrawImage(objTempImage, rect);
            return objBmp;
        }
