Question

        int contentLength = postedFile.ContentLength;
        byte[] data = new byte[contentLen

I have had problems loading images in .NET that were openable by more robust image libraries. It's possible that the specific jpeg image you have is not supported by .NET. jpeg files are not just one type of encoding, there's a variety of possible compression schemes allowed.

You could try it with another image that you know is in a supported format.
