A generic error occurred in GDI+ when saving image with jpeg

Question

    Image img = picturebox_company_logo.Image as Image;
    using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
    {
       img.Save(ms, ImageFormat.jpeg);
       byte[] bytes = ms.ToArray();
       cmd.Parameters.Add("@compLogo", SqlDbType.Image).Value = bytes;
    }

i am using C# and sqlserver... and am trying to get image from picturebox and store in into database... database column datatype is 'image'...

when i debug the code it gives exception on img.Save(ms, ImageFormat.jpeg); and the exception message is A generic error occurred in GDI+.

i had tried every possible way but it didn't work out...

i tried to add user permission and other solutions also

unlikely, none of the duplicate's answers seem to address this and OP is taking an approach of in-memory streaming, so the explanations "save over existing file while locked" and "permission issue" would not apply. — Cee McSharpface, Sep 19 '17 at 13:55
@Yash, `ImageFormat.jpeg` does not exist in my version of C#, are you sure? It should be `ImageFormat.Jpeg` with a capital J. Try `ImageFormat.Png` instead, if that works we can blame it on the jpeg encoder and focus on that. — Cee McSharpface, Sep 19 '17 at 13:56

i tried JPEG,GIF,PNG and BMP every time i gets same error... — Yash, Sep 19 '17 at 14:17
strange. did you also try different pictures, to rule out a corrupted pic, and different sizes? — Cee McSharpface, Sep 20 '17 at 21:58
