Do it the easy way - this saves the form Client area:

C#

private Bitmap GetImage(Control c)
    {
    Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(c.Width, c.Height);
    c.DrawToBitmap(bmp, new Rectangle(0, 0, c.Width, c.Height));
    return bmp;
    }
public void myButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    Image im = GetImage(this);
    im.Save(@"D:\Temp\MyForm.jpg", ImageFormat.Jpeg);
    }

When you get that message, put your cursor in the word. A small blue line will appear at the beginning. hover the mouse over the line, and open the drop-down that appears. It will provide you with options to correct the problem. In this case, by adding the line
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
for you.
