System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException: A generic error occurred in GDI+. imp - asp.net

Question

hye....its kinda urgent...
iam using a temp folder to store images for the preview and when i try to save them a System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException: A generic error occurred in GDI+ erreo is reported...
If FileUpload1.HasFile Then
Dim path As String = Server.MapPath("./TempImages/")
Dim oFileInfo As New FileInfo(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName)
Dim fileName As String = oFileInfo.Name
Dim fullFileName As String = path + "\\" + fileName
Dim imagePath As String = "TempImages/" + fileName
If Not Directory.Exists(path) Then
Directory.CreateDirectory(path)
End If
FileUpload1.PostedFile.SaveAs(fullFileName)
Image1.ImageUrl = imagePath
this is what iam doing and to save
If (FileUpload1.HasFile) Then
Dim strextension As String = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(FileUpload1.FileName)
If (strextension.ToUpper() = ".JPG") Then
Dim imagetoberezised As System.Drawing.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(FileUpload1.PostedFile.InputStream)
Dim imageheight As Integer = imagetoberezised.Height
Dim imagewidth As Integer = imagetoberezised.Width
Dim maxheight As Integer = 120
Dim maxwidth As Integer = 80
imageheight = (imagewidth * maxheight) / imageheight
imagewidth = maxheight
If imageheight > maxheight Then
imageheight = (imagewidth * maxheight) / imageheight
imagewidth = maxheight
End If
Dim bitmap As New Bitmap(imagetoberezised, imagewidth, imageheight)
Dim stream As System.IO.MemoryStream = New MemoryStream()
bitmap.Save(stream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)
stream.Position = 0
Dim img As Byte() = New Byte(stream.Length) {}
stream.Read(img, 0, img.Length)
Dim conn5 As New SqlConnection
conn5 = New SqlConnection
conn5.ConnectionString = "Server=aa-pc;Database=abcc;Uid=sa;Pwd=sa#123;"
Try
conn5.Open()
Dim sql As String = "update abcset abc_IMAGE = #eimg where PART_NO=" & Val(Part_List.SelectedValue)
Dim cmd5 As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(sql, conn5)
Dim uploadimage As New SqlParameter("#eimg", SqlDbType.Image, img.Length)
uploadimage.Value = img
cmd5.Parameters.Add(uploadimage)
Dim id As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(cmd5.ExecuteScalar())
Catch
MsgBox("error")
Finally
conn5.Close()
End Try
End If
End If
it works well whilw we run it locally but not on server..

Try this, it work for me:
Dim path As String = Server.MapPath("~/TempImages")
Dim FileInfo As New IO.FileInfo(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName)
Dim fileName As String = FileInfo.Name
'sets the image path
Dim fullFileName As String = path + "\" + fileName
Dim imagePath As String = "TempImages/" + fileName
'If Not Directory.Exists(path) Then
If Not System.IO.Directory.Exists("directory path") Then
System.IO.Directory.Exists("directory path")
End If
FileUpload1.PostedFile.SaveAs(fullFileName)
Image1.ImageUrl = imagePath
