I looked around and I may have confused google with the keywords.
I am looking to implement a support module in my windows forms application where when a user clicks on a button, an email is sent to the support team, with an attachment of a screenshot (form in question)
I am looking for something like
form.SaveAsImage(path)
any thoughts on how this can be implemented or have I missed the obvious
.net 3.5
Try using the Control.DrawToBitmap method and make sure the form has focus when you run the code.
using (Graphics gfx = form.CreateGraphics())
{
using (Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(form.Width, form.Height, gfx))
{
form.DrawToBitmap(bmp, new Rectangle(0, 0, form.Width, form.Height));
bmp.Save(fileName);
}
}
There appears to be a Howto on this: "HowTo: Print a Windows Form"
However, I really think that you should implement printing in your application. Perhaps this will help(?): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc188767.aspx
