How to get the screenshot of the form

Question

Any method to output the screenshot of an active form?

Answer 1

Use the Control.DrawToBitmap() method. For example:

    private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) {
        var frm = Form.ActiveForm;
        using (var bmp = new Bitmap(frm.Width, frm.Height)) {
            frm.DrawToBitmap(bmp, new Rectangle(0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height));
            bmp.Save(@"c:\temp\screenshot.png");
        }
    }
