You do realize that if you are really using ASP.NET as you say, that will take a picture of the SERVER screen, not the CLIENT?
That it works on your development PC because it is acting as both server and client?
That it won't come close to what you probably want in production?

Or is this actually Winforms?

Thank you for replay,

As you said if it works on development PC how can i take the picture of the SERVER?

Help me.

If you run server code in your website, it always runs on the server - only the javascript (or similar) runs on the client. So any and all C# code you write in your project gets executed on the SERVER not the CLIENT. So a picture of the desktop will be the server desktop, and a MessageBox.Show will cause a box to appear on the server (and annoy the heck out of the server admin staff)

When you run the code on your development machine, it acts as both server and client.

You can't.
Security will not allow you to do that.
