C# Windows form Control to Image?

Question

I am trying to create an image of a Panel and save it to a folder. The problem is the panel has scrollbars and the image generated is only for the visible portion of the Pan

Answer 1

Hmmm... It sounds like (as you did not say so in the original question) but would you have a picturebox acting as a container inside the panel's container i.e. nested containers?

Have you not considered doing this:

// Assume pic is the type of PictureBox and the image property is assigned
PictureBox pic;

// And that the picturebox is embedded in the Panel variable p.
p.Controls.Add(pic);

// ...

// So why not do this?
pic.Image.Save(...); 

The Save method of the Image class has 5 overloads so choose one at your convenience.

Hope this helps, Best regards, Tom.
