System.Drawing.Image.FromFile not finding file that is there

I have a program that populates an asp:repeater. The images show up with the following code

image.ImageUrl = "~/upload/max/" + product.Image1.ToString();

But when i try using

System.Drawing.Image FullsizeImage =
    System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(image.ImageUrl);

i get a filepath error saying there is no file there.

Any ideas?

That's because Image.FromFile() takes a file name, not an URL.

If that code runs on your web server, you can use HttpServerUtility.MapPath() to obtain the path to the physical file from its URL:

using System.Drawing;
using System.Web;

Image fullSizeImage = Image.FromFile(Server.MapPath(image.ImageUrl));
