Hi Everyone,
Recently I have started with Visual Basic, but I've now got a little stuck...
I need a script to save the contents of a form as a JPG file.
If anyone can do this for me or tell me how to do it easily, they will recieve around 250 credits from me.

Thanks!!!
Dan

That doesn't work for me I'm afraid :(
I think that person was probably using an older version of VB. I'm running the new 2008 one...

Anyone else help me?

I don't have much experience in VB.Net but I think this thread might be of value:

You can take and save a picture of your form like this:

Option Explicit

Private Declare Sub keybd_event Lib "user32" (ByVal bVk As Byte, _
ByVal bScan As Byte, ByVal dwFlags As Long, ByVal dwExtraInfo As Long)

Private Const KEYEVENTF_KEYUP = &H2

Private Function SaveFormPic() As Picture
   Dim pic As StdPicture
   Set pic = Clipboard.GetData(vbCFBitmap)
   keybd_event vbKeyMenu, 0, 0, 0
   keybd_event vbKeySnapshot, 0, 0, 0
   DoEvents
   keybd_event vbKeySnapshot, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0
   keybd_event vbKeyMenu, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0
   DoEvents
   Set SaveFormPic = Clipboard.GetData(vbCFBitmap)
   Clipboard.SetData pic, vbCFBitmap
End Function

Private Sub Command1_Click()
   SavePicture Clipboard.GetData(vbCFBitmap), "C:\MyPic.jpg" 'picture location
End Sub

The example requires one command button. It will take a picture of your form and save it into file "c:\mypic.jpg". You can change that.

Good luck.

Try this:

Put this at the top of the class file (form file, whatever)

Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing.Imaging

And this where you want to save it

Dim img as Bitmap = new Bitmap( Me.Width, Me.Height )
Dim g as Graphics = Graphics.FromImage( img )
 g.CopyFromScreen( new Point( Me.Left, Me.Top ), new Point( 0, 0 ), new Size( Me.Width, Me.Height ) )
img.Save( "filename.jpg", ImageFormat.Jpeg )
