i have a simple ASHX file that returns pictures upon request (mainly a counter), previously the code simply fetched pre-made pictures(already uploaded and available) and sent them to the requester..

i just modified the code,so it would take a base picture, do some modifications on it, save it to the server, then serve it to the user.. tested it locally and it worked like a charm.

however when i uploaded the code to my hosting service (Godaddy..) it didnt work. Can someone point the problem out to me? Note: ASHX worked with me before,so i know the web.config and IIS are handling them properly, however i think i am missing something ..

Code:

  <%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="NWEmpPhotoHandler" %>
   using System; 
   using System.Web;
   using System.IO;
   using System.Drawing;
   using System.Drawing.Imaging;

   public class NWEmpPhotoHandler : IHttpHandler 
   { 
       public bool IsReusable { get { return true; } }


public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext ctx)
{
    try
    {
        //Some Code to fetch # of vistors from DB
        int x = 10,000; // # of Vistors, fetched from DB
        string numberOfVistors = (1000 + x).ToString();
        string filePath = ctx.Server.MapPath("counter.jpg");
        Bitmap myBitmap = new Bitmap(filePath);
        Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(myBitmap);
        g.TextRenderingHint = System.Drawing.Text.TextRenderingHint.AntiAlias;
        StringFormat strFormat = new StringFormat();

        g.DrawString(numberOfVistors , new Font("Tahoma", 24), Brushes.Maroon,
            new RectangleF(55, 82, 500, 500),null);


        string PathToSave = ctx.Server.MapPath("counter-" + numberOfVistors + ".jpg");


        saveJpeg(PathToSave, myBitmap, 100);            

        if (File.Exists(PathToSave))
        {
            ctx.Response.ContentType = "image/jpg";
            ctx.Response.WriteFile(PathToSave);
            //ctx.Response.OutputStream.Write(picByteArray, 0, picByteArray.Length);
        }
    }
    catch (ArgumentException exe)
    {

    }
} 
 private ImageCodecInfo getEncoderInfo(string mimeType)
{
    // Get image codecs for all image formats
    ImageCodecInfo[] codecs = ImageCodecInfo.GetImageEncoders();

    // Find the correct image codec
    for (int i = 0; i < codecs.Length; i++)
        if (codecs[i].MimeType == mimeType)
            return codecs[i];
    return null;
}
private void saveJpeg(string path, Bitmap img, long quality)
{
    // Encoder parameter for image quality
    EncoderParameter qualityParam = new EncoderParameter(Encoder.Quality, quality);

    // Jpeg image codec
    ImageCodecInfo jpegCodec = this.getEncoderInfo("image/jpeg");

    if (jpegCodec == null)
        return;

    EncoderParameters encoderParams = new EncoderParameters(1);
    encoderParams.Param[0] = qualityParam;

    img.Save(path, jpegCodec, encoderParams);
}
