Taking an image snapshot of a C# WinForm App

[Bill Fuller]

Is there any way to create a self-image of an active C# WinForm app (similar
toAlt-PrintScreen)? I would like to add this feature to a user feedback form
where an image of the active application will automatically be created and
persisted on the backend for support purposes.

Bill,

If you have a reference to the Form instance, then you can call the
DrawToBitmap method on the Form instance (or for that matter, any Control
instance, since that's where the method is defined, Form just inherits it)
and then draw the contents of the Control/Form to the bitmap that you pass
in.
