It's all right there in the .net runtime, so you probably can just use that.

If you use a HtmlInputFile for your form field you can just pick it up
using "PostedFile" and then do whatever manipulations you want with
System.Drawing stuff.

.net is so endlessly more powerful than old fashioned vbscript you'll
find that there is a vast amount of stuff that is just built in to the
runtime now that doesn't really have any old asp alternative.

Part of why I've been referring to old fashioned asp as a dead platform
since 2002...
