URL to thumbnail

I need to produce a thumbnail from a given URL (html page) using C#.NET. Image (thumbnail version) needs to be saved on local disk. I have no clue on how to do this and any help would be appreciated.

could a website like this help?

http://www.websnapr.com/

or one similar? i presume you would want this to be automatic?

edit: You can alter the url, not sure of the ToS for that site.
e.g. http://images.websnapr.com/?url=byte...e=s&nocache=15

Hello cadab,

Well not really, because that website can't produce a thumbnail of every site. It works only with some websites, not with all that I tested.
