Hi All,

In one of my web applications, I intercepted the following error in the
Application_Error part of the Global.Asax:

GDI+ is not properly initialized (internal GDI+ error).

The error as it was mentioned in the server's event viewer shows the
following error message:

The type initializer for 'System.Drawing.ToolboxBitmapAttribute' threw
an exception.

This error causes my entire website to malfunction untill I perform a
IISReset.

Please help me out if you know what is causing this..

Kind regards Robin
