Hi,

In our project, before we do a check in to VSS, we need to take screen-shot of the check-in file list and store in a folder with date and time.

Is there anyway to take screen-shot of the whole page inside visual studio?

Thanks, Mahesh

A: 

You should use Alt + Printscreen button i believe, alt will let you take a snapshot of the selected window.
Then of course you need to paste it into a paint program...

As Craig said, Alt + PrintScreen is definitely the right way to capture a selected window. However, the problem is that if the list of files to commit is too long, you won't get everything. I personally use SnagIt to do screen captures of things that require scrolling. It is intelligent enough to capture everything that's off of the window as well.

+1 for SnagIt. It's $50, but it's fantastic.

I believe they have special pricing in a 5 pack, plus each license is allowed on a desktop and laptop, so it's quite a good deal even for small companies.

Hi Matsumoto,Thanks for the reply. I use Alt+PrintScreen in most of the scnerious but I face issue when the list of files is long. May be I need to buy SnagIt to use in our project.

It's well worth the $50, and you'll find uses for it beyond scrolling capture. I like quickly capturing screenshots into its library, and then being able to add tags as well.
