My app jams

Jan 24 2010 6:52 AM
hi all,

 I have just wrote my first app in WPF (actually it is my first windows app). It is an image resizer which converts pictures correctly but it jams when I load large number of images (The window freezes and I cant move it). 

I have a list of strings where each item represents location of the image. Then I run the following loop:

 foreach (string file in fileCollection)

{
		index++;
                FileInfo fInfo = new FileInfo(file);
Image tempImg2 = Image.FromFile(fInfo.FullName);
string imgName = fInfo.Name.Substring(0, fInfo.Name.Length - 4);
if (isOriginalSize == true)
{
finalImage = tempImg2;
}
else
{
finalImage = tempImg2.GetThumbnailImage(imageWidth, imageHeight, null, IntPtr.Zero);
}
Bitmap bmp1 = new Bitmap(finalImage);
tempImg2.Dispose();
finalImage.Dispose();
ImageCodecInfo jpgEncoder = GetEncoder(ImageFormat.Jpeg);
System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder myEncoder = System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder.Quality;
EncoderParameters myEncoderParameters = new EncoderParameters(1);
EncoderParameter myEncoderParameter = new EncoderParameter(myEncoder, imgQualityValue);
myEncoderParameters.Param[0] = myEncoderParameter;

bmp1.Save(@ofd_out.SelectedPath + "\\" + imgName + outputFormat, jpgEncoder, myEncoderParameters);
bmp1.Dispose();

}

What can I do to improve performance of my program? Should I use threading or something else? 

Thank you,
Marcin
