Why not use GDI+ from ASP.NET

Question

I\'ve been told that using GDI+ from ASP.NET is dangerous and undefined.

Is that because there is no guarantee of a Device Context? Can someone explain?

Answer 1

There are scalability concerns around the creation of windows handles and resources that GDI+ uses in a web environment.

Placed ASP.NET GDI+ code in a singleton so that calls are serialised and dispose of objects correctly.

I have used this technique for dynamically created images without a hitch.
