How to get a screen capture of a .Net WinForms control programmatically?

Question

How do you programmatically obtain a picture of a .Net control?

Answer 1

For WinForms controls that support it, there is a method in the System.Windows.Forms.Control class:

public void DrawToBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, Rectangle targetBounds);

This does not work with all controls, however. Third party component vendors have more comprehensive solutions.
