C# Take ScreenShot of .net control within application and attach to Outlook Email [duplicate]

Answer 1

Modification of KeyboardP's answer. Modified to a static method so it can be used as a helper.

public static Bitmap ScreenShotaControl(Control aControl)
        {
            try
            {
                Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(aControl.Width, aControl.Height);
                aControl.DrawToBitmap(bmp, new Rectangle(0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height));
                return bmp;
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {

                throw;
            }
        }

Example usages are as follows:

Bitmap bmp = ScreenShotaControl(aControl);
    Clipboard.SetImage(bmp); //to copy to clipboard

Bitmap bmp = ScreenShotaControl(aControl);
    bmp.Save(@"C:\MyPanelImage.bmp"); //save to specified path

Bitmap bmp = ScreenShotaControl(aControl);
    MemoryStream ms= new MemoryStream();
    bmp.Save(ms, ImageFormat.Jpeg); 
    ContentType ct= new ContentType(); 
    ct.MediaType = MediaTypeNames.Image.Jpeg; 

    MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(); 
    mail.Attachments.Add(new Attachment(ms, ct));  //attach to email
