Create Image OF remote web page(s)

Hey all,

I've spent about two weeks trying to figure this out. What I need is a
script to
grab a webpage and display it as an (thumbnail?) image on one of my pages.
GotDotNet has a webservice to do this, but I need everything to be "local",
i.e. I can't call their webservice. Does anyone know where I can find the
code to do this (I think I've seen it out there before, just can't find it
again). Any help would be tremendously appreciated!!!

Thanks to everyone,

Chad

Or just write it yourself by "displaying webpage entrie" in plate (e.g) and
when save it into bitmap by using GDI +

Hope it helps

Can this be done using a WebClient control?

Here is your starting point. It took me a 2 second google search to
find this. Please stop spamming the groups with your problem.

Hello Adam,

I'm not spamming the groups, and I somewhat resent that statement.
Besides that, I did follow the link you gave, and it looks promising.
However, how can this be incorporated to use with the WebBrowser or
WebClient controls to be used IN a ASPX page?

Thanks,

Chad

P.S. What was your "google" string?

resent all you want,

step 1) read an understand this code
step 2) figure out how to launch a program that can render web pages
step 3) use the code mentioned in step 1 and modify it so that it
pulls from the program mentioned in step 2 instead of the desktop.
step 4) integrate it however you want

if you do not understand how this could potentially work then you are
probably in over your head. pay someone 50 bucks to write it for you.
It'll save you time and money.

It seems to me that virtually every question that is asked here can be
answered either in MSDN or with a search of the Internet. Besides that, it
could be that a person can't find the answer because, not understanding the
answer, they don't know the right keywords or phrases to return the right
answers in a search. Or maybe they just don't choose to look in those
places.

The newsgroups (emphasis on groups) are supposed to be a place where peers
can get together and share knowledge and questions, not a place where only
when one has exhausted all resources to the satisfaction of some
self-appointed monitor, he or she may ask a question.

I'm curious why you participate in the newsgroups if you find those who
don't know the same set of things that you know to be so offensive to you.

I wasn't offended and I wasn't really bothered by the post. This post
has been resurfacing in many different forms over the last couple
weeks and it has been discussed multiple times. I am pretty sure it
was the same person posting with different credentials displayed
although I didn't bother checking into it. I just assumed because it
was the exact same question.

I didn't intend to light a match on this gasoline coverered thread but
cross posting the same thing over and over is not very nice.

To all:

My apologies for the multiple posts to the different forums. I had tried
posting in the dotnet.aspnet and a few other forums, and was not getting the
information needed. This is a priority project inwhich I needed an answer
quickly (which has not happened yet). I have posted several different
version of my post, in a way to see if someone different would catch it and
be able to help. I have searched the internet, responded to others ideas
and queries, etc, but have not found a suitable solution yet. As far as as
Dale's remark, I was not referring to Adam in any degrading manner, but more
of a response to me spamming the groups. Instead of posting individual
messages to each forum, I decided to do a group-forum post (as I had tried
the aspnet group, to no avail), so that if someone does not look at the
aspnet group, that they might catch it in the csharp group, or web controls
group. I did not mean to be offensive in any way, and I apologize if anyone
took it as such. Oh yeah, Dale, why are you posting to the forum when you
didn't even have anything helpful for me in my search for answers anyways?

Again, sorry for the multiple posts.

I was just defending your right, and my right, to ask questions that could
be answered on the Internet. Have a nice night and good luck with your
problem.

Chad, as I've told you before, there's a reason you're not getting an
answer. There isn't any cheap, simple, answer, and you're unlikely to create
one on your own within a reasonable amount of time.

I recall that you've seen examples of this on the Internet, but is there
something that makes you and your people believe that achieving this was
inexpensive? It may be that those examples you've seen are very expensive.

You also may want to reevaluate the reasons for this requirement. Start from
what the business goal is, and you may find that there's another way to
accomplish it.
