{
file = flUpload.FileName;
thumb = "";
String[] strNew = file.Split('.');
strNew[0] = DateTime.Now.Ticks.ToString();
file = strNew[0] + "." + strNew[1];
thumb = strNew[0] + "_t." + strNew[1];

                    ImageName = file;
                    ImagePath = Server.MapPath("~/photos") +"\\\\"+ ImageName;
                    Response.Write(ImagePath);

                    ImageThumbName = thumb;
                    ImageThumbPath = Server.MapPath("~/thumbs") + "\\\\" + ImageThumbName;
                    Response.Write(ImageThumbPath);

                   
                    using (System.Drawing.Image Img = new Bitmap(flUpload.FileContent))
                    {
                        Size ThumbNailSize = NewImageSize(Img.Height, Img.Width, 100);
                        Size ImageSize = NewImageSize(Img.Height, Img.Width, 500);

                        using (System.Drawing.Image ImgThnail = new Bitmap(Img, ThumbNailSize.Width, ThumbNailSize.Height))
                        {
                            ImgThnail.Save(ImageThumbPath, Img.RawFormat);
                            ImgThnail.Dispose();
                        }
                        using (System.Drawing.Image Img1 = new Bitmap(Img, ImageSize.Width, ImageSize.Height))
                        {
                            Img1.Save(ImagePath, Img.RawFormat);
