Saving System.Drawing.Graphics to a png or bmp

Question

I have a Graphics object that I\'ve drawn on the screen and I need to save it to a png or bmp file. Graphics doesn\'t seem to support that directly, but it must be possible

Answer 1

You are likely drawing either to an image or on a control. If on image use

    Image.Save("myfile.png",ImageFormat.Png)

If drawing on control use Control.DrawToBitmap() and then save the returned image as above.

Thanks for the correction - I wasn't aware you can draw directly to the screen.
