Adding Texts on the Image : A generic error occurred in GDI+

Question

i want to write 3 text on the specific image. There isn't any problem on localhost. But on the server,i try everything but nothing has changed. always say: A generic error occurred in GDI+.

if i write text on the image step by step,i got same error. After i add first text, second and third text can not be added on the image because of proccessing on the image with first text.

Summary:

First i want to add text1 on img1 and Dispose. Second i want to add text2 on img1 and Dispose. Third i want to add text3 on img1 and Dispose.

  using (Bitmap bitmapMasterImage = new Bitmap(stringMasterImageName))
            {
                using (Graphics graphicsMasterImage = Graphics.FromImage(bitmapMasterImage))
                {
                    graphicsMasterImage.DrawString(stringText1, new Font("Arial", 20, FontStyle.Bold), new SolidBrush(colorStringColor), new Point(233, 134), stringformatWriteTextFormat);
                    graphicsMasterImage.DrawString(stringText2, new Font("Arial", 20, FontStyle.Bold), new SolidBrush(colorStringColor), new Point(233, 210), stringformatWriteTextFormat);
                    graphicsMasterImage.DrawString(stringText3, new Font("Arial", 20, FontStyle.Bold), new SolidBrush(colorStringColor), new Point(233, 300), stringformatWriteTextFormat);
                }

                Response.Clear();
                Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";

                using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
                {
                    bitmapMasterImage.Save(stream, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
                    bitmapMasterImage.Save(stringOutPutFileName);
                    stream.WriteTo(Response.OutputStream);
                }
            }

Thank You

Not sure if [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/336387/image-save-throws-a-gdi-exception-because-the-memory-stream-is-closed) helps, viz keep the stream open for the lifespan of your bitmap — StuartLC, Oct 09 '12 at 13:25

This message usually appears when

you don't have write permissions to save the file
the path doesn't exists
the file is in use

Check to make sure the paths setup the same way on the server (ie stringMasterImageName). Also, this could be a permission/security issue. Look here

Try closing the brush streams

using (var brush = new SolidBrush(colorStringColor))
{
   ...         
}

Or use the built in brushes, these don't need to be closed.

graphicsMasterImage.DrawString(stringText1, font, Brushes.Black, new Point(233, 134), stringformatWriteTextFormat);
