I need to create a screenshot of the page by providing a page URL to the command line tool. I found the following application: Convert HTML To Image. This tool is OK but want a more flexible application. I need to have ability to perform the following:
- Go to the following page.
- Click button.
- Take a screenshot and save it.
I want to create an application that will test a site by going by URL, take a shots, and then send the images to the email.
Does anybody has an experience in solving such problems?
Watin can capture screenshots:
ie.CaptureWebPageToFile("c:\tmp\watin main page.jpg");

I am a contributor to the WatiN project and the author of the WatiN Test Recorder. To do what you want, I'd suggest using something like csExWB2 (http://code.google.com/p/csexwb2/). The demo will give you the basic browser, and you can add screen shots where you like. Emailing is not covered, but that should be fairly easy.
I know this is very old post but i want to leave a message for visitor of this post.
PhantomJS is one option (http://www.phantomjs.org).
According to the WatiN features page:
- Supports creating screenshots of webpages
I would direct you to more specifical documentation, but the documentation web doesn't work well with Firefox, so I can't search it.
