HTML to Image: The Confusion Begins

Currently I load an HTML string into a webBrowser control's contents and tel开发者_开发问答l the user to print-screen it.

I'd like to somehow either grab the webBrowser contents as an image, or somehow render this HTML to an image file that can be saved. Are there any free libraries to do this?

I have been curious as to how this is accomplished myself. I have not tried to do this, but here is a link to a CodeProject article that seems to describe the process quite well: HTML to Image in C#

I use a program called Webshot and I absolutely love it. It has a freeware version with upgrade available. It even has a callable command line interface which can be used in an automated fashion.

Link here.

Well, there's bound to be a better solution than this, but I'm pretty sure it's better than your solution (I haven't checked out the other answers), so...

I have a working C# program that saves a bitmap image of a control. Currently, the control is a textbox, but you could easily make it a web browser control. The entire program is below. The form has a button, button1, and a textbox, textBox1.

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Bitmap bm = new Bitmap(textBox1.Width,textBox1.Height);
            textBox1.DrawToBitmap(bm,new Rectangle(0,0,bm.Width,bm.Height));
            bm.Save("image.bmp");
        }
    }
}
