Saving Images in SQL using C#

I have a dialog box in a C# Winforms application. I want to save images. But each time I click on the save button, I get an error

A generic error occurred in gdi+

This is my code for saving the image:

var SavedFileName = string.Format(@"{0}.png", Guid.NewGuid());

var path = Application.StartupPath + "/passport/" + SavedFileName.ToString();

if(passportsize.Image == null)
{
    SavedFileName = "";
}
else
{
    passportsize.Image.Save(path,System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
}

Try using a back slash instead of a forward slash. "\\passport\\" instead of "/passport/"

You haven't provided the full message, so I can't be sure, but it's likely that the source stream that created the image has been disposed of but the image is still tied to it.

When you create the image, you should clone it. For example:

private Image ImageFromBytes(byte[] imageBytes)
{
    using (var ms = new MemoryStream(imageBytes))
    {
        using (var image = Image.FromStream(ms))
        {
            return (Image)image.Clone();
        }
    }
}

Then when you come to save it later, you shouldn't encounter any issues.
