Answer 1

1. Get the Rectangle occupied by the browser control
2. Create a DC for the screen: screen=GetDC(NULL)
3. Create a compatible DC: memDC=CreateCompatibleDC(screen)
4. Create a compatible bitmap: bmp=CreateCompatibleBitmap(screen, rect);
5. select the compatible bitmap into the compatible DC SelectObject(memDC, bmp)
6. BitBlt from the screenDC to the compatible DC

The bitmap you created should now contain an image of that area of the screen.

Answer 2

Something like this will work -

Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(webBrowser1.Width, webBrowser1.Height);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap);
g.CopyFromScreen(webBrowser1.PointToScreen(webBrowser1.Location), new Point(), webBrowser1.Size);
bitmap.Save(@"c:\\browser.jpg", ImageFormat.Jpeg);
bitmap.Dispose();
