            using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
            {

                Image ximg = Image.FromFile(<<filepath>>);
                ximg.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);

                base64 = Convert.ToBase64String(ms.ToArray());
               
                localhost.Service1 S1 = new localhost.Service1();

               string r = S1.UploadImage(base64, "MyFile.Jpg");
