Resizing an image using Magick.net

Question

I've got an image that I want to resize using Magick.net before displaying in an ASP .Net page, but when I look at the displayed image in my browser, it comes up as a broken image.

Here's what my code would look like if I wasn't resizing:

this.LogoBox.Image = _myModel.LogoImage;

Here's what my ImageMagick-using code looks like:

var logoToDisplay = new MagickImage(new Bitmap(_myModel.LogoImage));
logoToDisplay.Resize(imageWidth, imageHeight);
this.LogoBox.Image = logoToDisplay.ToBitmap();

When I take out the second ...Resize... line, nothing comes up. I can't seem to find good documentation for Magick.net, even on the CodePlex site.

Any thoughts?

When you use the ToBitmap method your image will be converted to Bmp. You probably want to use another image format, e.g. ImageFormat.Png or ImageFormat.Jpeg. Feel free to post a message here also: https://magick.codeplex.com/discussions. And can you also put up a link to the image you are trying to resize?
