Get Image Dimensions with .NET

I wanted to get the dimensions of an image that I was going to load in a popup so that I would know how big to make the popup. I also didn’t want to open my aspjpeg component as I’m trying to keep it all in .NET

Here’s what I came up with:

Dim strPhoto As String = “/images/newPhoto.jpg”

Dim workingImage As System.Drawing.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(Server.MapPath(strPhoto))

Dim intWidth As Integer = CInt(workingImage.PhysicalDimension.Width)

Dim intHeight As Integer = CInt(workingImage.PhysicalDimension.Height)

this will put the width and height into variables that I can play around with.
