I'm trying to resize an image while preserving the aspect ratio from the original image so the new image doesn't look squashed.

eg:

Convert a 150*100 image into a 150*150 image.
The extra 50 pixels of the height need to be padded with a white background color.

This is the current code I am using.

It works well for resizing but changing the aspect ratio of the original image squashes the new image.

private void resizeImage(string path, string originalFilename, 
                         int width, int height)
    {
        Image image = Image.FromFile(path + originalFilename);

        System.Drawing.Image thumbnail = new Bitmap(width, height);
        System.Drawing.Graphics graphic = 
                     System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(thumbnail);

        graphic.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
        graphic.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
        graphic.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;
        graphic.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighQuality;

        graphic.DrawImage(image, 0, 0, width, height);

        System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageCodecInfo[] info =
                         ImageCodecInfo.GetImageEncoders();
        EncoderParameters encoderParameters;
        encoderParameters = new EncoderParameters(1);
        encoderParameters.Param[0] = new EncoderParameter(Encoder.Quality,
                         100L);            
        thumbnail.Save(path + width + "." + originalFilename, info[1], 
                         encoderParameters);
    }

EDIT: I'd like to have the image padded instead of cropped
