I figured out what I was doing wrong. It was a coding issue. I was not calling the file content type in my download code. So if anyone is searching for a solution to their files being damaged when they try to open a file from a database, make sure you are referencing the content type...

I'll post code if requested, but I'm not convinced it is a coding issue. I upload a pdf or excel file to a mssql (2012) database. When I download the file I get "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." This doesn't happen with text files, images...

I took a look at your logo. Unfortunately there isn’t going to be a quick way to accomplish what you want. The issue is the anti-aliased edges. You can use the color replacer and the paint brush to accomplish your goals. You will need to replace several shades of gray using the replacer, one...

Can you post an example of the logo? Depending on the logo's content, whether the content is all text (like on your home page) or simple geometric shapes, selecting the various elements (text or shapes) with the magic wand using the anti-aliase option, might do the trick. Select an element, cut...

While your questiion might seem simple, the answer can be quite complex. There are a lot of possible ways to do what you want, though I am not certain I understand what you want to do. You can use the magic wand to make selections and then apply some of the color filters. You can select the...

I solved the issue. In another portion of my web app, I was creating a variable as a new image bitmap, and when I was done with the image (getting height and width) I should have disposed the variable. In this case, the variable was using the same drop down. So because I did not dispose of the...

Ok, when I select an image from the dropdown list and attempt to delete it I get the following error message when the delete is in a try catch block: "The process cannot access the file 'D:\sites\gallery\test1thumb.png' because it is being used by another process." If I hard code the image...

Yes, the path is ok. There are no errant spaces or extraneous characters. I am going to work on this some more, and I'll post back an update.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Yes, the path is valid. The way I verified the path was to set the value of ImageName to a hard coded value: Dim ImageName = "test1thumb.png" When I set and use the above value for ImageName, the path works and the image is deleted. I've even tried...

I have a click event which is supposed to delete an image. I have a dropdown which displays all the images in a folder. When I try and use the dropdown selected value, the image is not deleted. However, if I pass the name of an image, the image is deleted. In the code below, when I hard code the...

Works like a charm. Thank you... mike

Is this a PSP question or a GIMP question? You can achieve the desired effects in PSP. The second of your images looks like a filter effect, but the first one can be done with basic layers, the eraser, blur, line tool and shapes tool. I'm pretty sure the second one can also be done in PSP, but...

I have a web form which has a multiple select dropdown list. The dropdown data is bound from a table. On submission the selected items are pushed to an mssql table. I have an edit version of the form where the various data is read into the form allowing the user to edit the fields and resubmit...

I did take a look at the code, but don't see a way to open a file using the editor. I'll keep trying. tia...mike

I'm still trying to build a solution. I have found an Active X which will work, Ultra Office, however, the more I think about it the more I like the idea of a rich text editor and saving the file as a word doc when necessary. Can the editor jpadie posted a link to...
