[Mono-dev] Error in Mono but not on IIS: A null reference or invalid value was found [GDI+ status: InvalidParameter]

[Matthew Urbano]

Hello Mono world!  I am having a difficult time trying to figure out a way to create an image cropping tool using c# and JQuery's Jcrop plug-in.  I can get the code to work perfectly in plain old .net, but mono gives me the following error:

A null reference or invalid value was found [GDI+ status: InvalidParameter]

Description: HTTP 500. Error processing request.

Stack Trace:

Here is the code behind:

protected void btnCrop_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string ImageName = CurrentImage.Value;
            string ImageNameOnly = CurrentImage.Value.Substring(CurrentImage.Value.LastIndexOf("/") + 1, CurrentImage.Value.Length - CurrentImage.Value.LastIndexOf("/") - 1);
            int w = Convert.ToInt32(W.Value);
            int h = Convert.ToInt32(H.Value);
            int x = Convert.ToInt32(X.Value);
            int y = Convert.ToInt32(Y.Value);

            string originalFile = Server.MapPath("~/cms/uploads/" + ImageNameOnly);

            using (var photo = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(Server.MapPath("~/cms/uploads/" + ImageNameOnly)))

            using (var result = new Bitmap(w, h, photo.PixelFormat))
            {
                result.SetResolution(photo.HorizontalResolution, photo.VerticalResolution);

                using (var g = Graphics.FromImage(result))
                {
                    g.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;

                    g.DrawImage(photo, new Rectangle(0, 0, 100, 100),
                         new Rectangle(x, y, w, h),
                         GraphicsUnit.Pixel);

                    photo.Dispose();

                    //result.Save(sp + "crop-" + ImageNameOnly);
                    imgCropped.ImageUrl = "/cms/uploads/crop-" + ImageNameOnly;

                }

            }
         }


It seems like this line is the root of the problem: using (var photo = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(Server.MapPath("~/cms/uploads/" + ImageNameOnly)))

Is there a way around this error??
