Graphics.CopyFromScreen [Web application] + The ha

Question

I am using the below code to take print screen of my web page.

      using (Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(620, 850))
        {    
            using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap))
            {
                g.CopyFromScreen(new Point(bounds.Left, bounds.Top), Point.Empty, bounds.Size);
            }
            bitmap.Save(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory.ToString() + 1 + ".JPEG", ImageFormat.Jpeg);
        }

It works fine in the development machine,but once i deploy it in the Server it gives below error

Error Message:

The handle is invalid

Answer 1

I would guess the graphics functionality is only available in rich-client applications. (Windows Forms)

This would be a huge security issue if webpages could capture snapshots of users' desktop.

You may try VisualJS.NET, the video under http://www.visualjs.net/Tutorials/WhatisVisualJSNET.aspx page could be helpful. They using Cassini Dev server in addition to built-in VisualJS.NET features in order to demonstrate very simple remote desktop over web application.
