Screenshots (cached websites)

When you go to google and search for some term, you'll see they have
something called "Cached", when you click on it, it will produce a
screenshot of the page, when it was last visited by their browser.
How do I go about creating the screenshots like those in Google in
VB.NET?

Thanks a lot,
Martin

Google simply cached the HTML code of the page in its cache and adds some
information to the HTML file. You can use 'WebClient.Down loadFile' to
download a file from the Web.

The images are named according to the "id" generated via an Identity column of their corresponding database record (ex: 1058.jpg). The problem occurs when the client tries to change the image. The client gets understandly confused because the old image is still displayed, due to the...

I'm just starting to play around with CSS and MovableType. My home page (http://www.jay.fm) now validates on both the CSS and the XHTML. However, the Google cached version shows the wrong font in IE6. This seems to be because of the "header" they place before the <head> block; if I save the cached copy to disk and edit that out, it displays fine. It's not a big deal, but I don't notice this problem on other pages, so I wondered if...

Hello, does anybody have experiences with screenshots of ActiveX controls in .NET? I have a panel containing some controls, amongst others some ActiveX controls. I tried "control.DrawToBitmap()". The result was a Bitmap showing the panel with all controls located on it, except the ActiveX controls.

Hi: We are a software company. Our product (Dialogue) is very expansive with lots of menus, dialog boxes, etc in the GUI. We use unstructured FM 7.2. Every time we have a new release, undoubtedly some (or many) of the software's menus and dialog boxes change due to enhancements. This requires us to identify these changes (somehow) and re-do any screenshots in our documentation and training materials.
