Question

Answer 1

A Windows Forms control also knows how to render itself, you don't have to jump through the screen capture hoop. Make it look like this:

    using (var bmp = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(basePanel.Width, basePanel.Height)) {
        basePanel.DrawToBitmap(bmp, new System.Drawing.Rectangle(0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height));
        bmp.Save(@"c:\temp\test.png");
    }
