Hi friends,

This is My code.

C#

sExtension = Path.GetExtension(Bigimg.FileName);
sFileName = Bigimg.FileName.Replace(Bigimg.FileName.ToString(), news.NewsId.ToString()) + sExtension;                        
string sPath1 = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["BlockImagePath"].ToString() + sFileName;
if (!File.Exists(sPath1))
   File.Delete(sPath1);

Bigimg.PostedFile.SaveAs(sPath1);
System.Drawing.Image img = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(sPath1);
img.Save(@sPath1, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);

I using the above code to convert image format to JPEG.

I saved the converted image in another name.now it works fine.

System.Drawing.Image img = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(@sPath);
sPath1 = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["BlockImagePath"].ToString();
replacedname = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(sPath);
img.Save(@sPath1 + replacedname + "1.jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);

Thanks friends

I'm seeing some difficulties here, maybe you can explain them:

1) You're using a string variable here to replace itself with another string. The same result could be achieved much easier

C#

sFileName = Bigimg.FileName.Replace(Bigimg.FileName.ToString(), news.NewsId.ToString()) + sExtension;

//

sFileName = news.NewsId.ToString() + sExtension;

2) Something called "BlockImagePath" should be a string already. So no need to ToString() it.
And using Path.Combine[^] can help path creation robustness.

C#

string sPath1 = Path.Combine(
    ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["BlockImagePath"],
    sFileName
);

3) Delete something that isn't there?

C#

if (!File.Exists(sPath1))
   File.Delete(sPath1);

I suppose that you wanted that without the "!".

4) And the you're saving an image to disk, read it again, and re-write it another time.
I think you should provide some insight in the data type of PostedFile.
