Crop image maintaining aspect ratio in ASP.NET, C#

Sometimes we need to decrease size of the images by maintaining aspect image ratio. The code give below will produce a new image from source image and new image will look exactly like source image.

Introduction

Before showing codes I would like to share source image details and generated image details. I was asked to generate 360 x 360 size image by maintaining aspect image ratio.

Now you may be thinking this will squeeze image, no this will ever if you pass bool preserveAspectRatio = true so, this is configurable.

Remember, if image is portrait or landscape, one of the generated image dimension (height or weight) will be 360. If image is of square sized, generated image will always be 360 x 360.

Output

Source Image:

Size: 24.5 KB, Dimensions: 784 x 1242

Generated/Output Image:

Size: 4.13 KB, Dimensions: 227 x 360

Understanding Code

All the used codes are given below and you can customize them according to your requirement. I used a button with name ‘btnUpload’ and when button is clicked it will read an image from disk and produces its compressed image as output.


protected void btnUpload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    System.Drawing.Image original = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(@"D:\Images\3.jpg");
    System.Drawing.Image resized = ResizeImage(original, new Size(360, 360));
    MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();
    resized.Save(memStream, ImageFormat.Jpeg);

    using (var file = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(memStream))
    {
        file.Save(@"D:\Images\3_resized.jpg");
    }

}

public static System.Drawing.Image ResizeImage(System.Drawing.Image image, Size size, bool preserveAspectRatio = true)
{
    int newWidth;
    int newHeight;
    if (preserveAspectRatio)
    {
        int originalWidth = image.Width;
        int originalHeight = image.Height;
        float percentWidth = (float)size.Width / (float)originalWidth;
        float percentHeight = (float)size.Height / (float)originalHeight;
        float percent = percentHeight < percentWidth ? percentHeight : percentWidth;
        newWidth = (int)(originalWidth * percent);
        newHeight = (int)(originalHeight * percent);
    }
    else
    {
        newWidth = size.Width;
        newHeight = size.Height;
    }
    System.Drawing.Image newImage = new Bitmap(newWidth, newHeight);
    using (Graphics graphicsHandle = Graphics.FromImage(newImage))
    {
        graphicsHandle.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
        graphicsHandle.DrawImage(image, 0, 0, newWidth, newHeight);
    }
    return newImage;
}

public class Size
{
public int Width { get; set; }
public int Height { get; set; }

public Size(int p1, int p2)
{
    this.Width = p1;
    this.Height = p2;
}
}


Hope this helps.

Migrating database from ASP.NET Identity to ASP.NET Core Identity

Image
As you know ASP.NET Core Identity (table structure) is different from what we had earlier in ASP.NET Identity. Actually the identity system which we have today with .NET Core is very mature and continuously evolved be it ASP.NET Membership, ASP.NET Identity 1, ASP.NET Identity 2 and now ASP.NET Core Identity. Recently I had to migrate few application to ASP.NET Core and similar its identity database. Because the table schema is changed, i had to re-think and create migration script which I would like to share with you today. It is very simple and easy, just three step and I had everything ready: STEP 1 : Change name of existing tables STEP 2 : Create ASP.NET Core Identity tables STEP 3 : Migrate data from old tables (ASP.NET Identity) to new tables (ASP.NET Core Identity) Script:  https://gist.github.com/itorian/c699e8534b392a6c726ec66c48100072 You should also watch my video, where I demoed migration.

Note: You should read this post instead, I found below walkthrough will not work on ASP.NET Identity 2. I will re-work on this post soon. In this post you will learn how to customize User’s Profile and add some more fields like FirstName, LastName, EmailID etc with ASP.NET Identity System. In my last post I listed some of the great new features introduced with Identity system .

Lambda two tables and three tables inner join code samples

In this blog post you will learn inner join using lambda queries. There will be two samples, in first sample you will see how you can join two tables and in second sample you will see how you can extend even further to join three tables and so on. I will sample in-memory data, but the same implementation will work with IQueryable (lazy query) too. Here's the code snippet:- namespace ConsoleApp1 {     class Program     {         static void Main()         {             var table1 = new List<Table1>();             table1.Add( new Table1 { Id = 1, Name = "Name 1" , Address = "Address 1" });             table1.Add( new Table1 { Id = 2, Name = "Name 2" , Address = "Address 2" });             table1.Add( new Table1 { Id = 3, Name = "Name 3" , Address = "Address 3" });             table1.Add( new Table1 { Id = 4, Name = "Name 4" , Address = "Address 4" });
