ActiveBitmapSize IIActiveBitmapSize II is an ASP component that provides the facility of checking the pixel and bytesize of an image. This is useful when you wish to determine the size and geometry of an online or uploaded image (jpg, gif, png or bmp). The component is a form of freeware that I term donationware. It can be downloaded from the downloads section in either a full setup kit or as the naked DLL itself.
You will notice that the Component's Name is Active BitMapSize 2. Naturally there was also an Active BitMapSize 1 which I needed under IIS 3.0. It worked fine and never gave me any problems. However, I got some pretty nasty emails from other people who claimed it crashed their server, totally destroyed their harddrives and so on. I assume that most of these people were running IIS4.0. To totally confuse me, I got another letter from someone using the component under IIS5.0 who said it worked just great without any problems.
