Geting an Image of the Page in a Web Browser Control

  It runs absolutely fine here. I'm unable to replicate any problem.

  I knew it would. It's good code. You need to do something about a path spec but other than that, it's nice code.

  Imports System.drawing

  Public Class Form1

  Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, _

  ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

  Wb.Navigate("www.microsoft.com")

  Wb.Location = New Point(0, 0)

  End Sub

  Private Sub cbGo_Click(ByVal sender As Object, _

  ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cbGo.Click

  Const ScrollbarWidth = 18

  Dim wbRect As Rectangle = Wb.ClientRectangle

  Dim wbBm As New Bitmap(Wb.ClientRectangle.Width - ScrollbarWidth, _

  Wb.ClientRectangle.Height - ScrollbarWidth)

  Dim gwb As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(wbBm)

  gwb.CopyFromScreen(Wb.PointToScreen(New Point(0, 0)), New Point(0,
  0), New Size(Wb.Width - ScrollbarWidth, _

  Wb.Height - ScrollbarWidth))

  gwb.Dispose()

  wbBm.Save("c:\temp\deleteme.png")

  wbBm.Dispose()

  End Sub

  End Class

  Hi,

  Nice to see you again! This time I just found an article in Microsoft Knowledge Base that titled How to display images from a folder in a form, a report, or a data access page.

  http://search.support.microsoft.com/kb/285820/

  I hope this article will help you with your problem after taking a reference :-)

  I tested it, and got the same error because I don't have the c:\temp folder. It worked once I created the folder, so the error is definitely caused by not having the specified folder (as ReneeC suggested earlier), Mr Gates II
