            imageType = imageType.ToUpperInvariant();



            foreach (ImageCodecInfo info in ImageCodecInfo.GetImageEncoders())
            {
                if (info.FormatDescription == imageType)
                {

            }

            return null;
        }

    }
}

So I am getting nothing; after browsing when I click on upload button nothing is happening in my page, I am not getting any error.

Answer 1

You need to debug your code. Insert breakpoints where appropriate and check what parts of code are executed.

Answer 2

Your problem is probably here:

PdfName type = (PdfName)PdfReader.GetPdfObject(tg.Get  (PdfName.SUBTYPE));
   if (PdfName.IMAGE.Equals(type))

I am guessing that the if is resolving to false, and therefore the rest of the code is not running.
