Get bitmap of an web page using WebBrowser Control in .net compact framework.

Question

Hi,

I am trying out to get the bitmap of web page loaded in web browser control, but found that WebBrowser.CreateGraphics() and even WM_PRINT (DrawToBitmap) message response is also missing in .net compact framework.

After searching through internet found one of the .net sample code which gets complete web page in bitmap

When i tried porting it through compact framework for windows mobile 6.0 found that most of the API and methods missing.

How should i go ahead with it...

Any help in this regard will greatly appreciated. Thanks- Ramanand Bhat

Answer 1

I've tried to take a snapshot of a web page via an asp.net application. I guess parts of that exercise would be useful to you.

Answer 2

Probably the simplest way is to just take a full screen capture, then clip the result down to the bounds of the browser control.
