It's likely a permissions issue.

Might be a long shot -

This function copies from a Device Context.
When the screen is locked, the image of the desktop might not exist anywhere,
Check if this exception is thrown when the screen is locked... (you do use a screen on this server do you?)

Do you have permission? On your local machine, you probably have full permission for the folder structure "C:\Director\Transfer\Staff\Niranjan\" but on the production server it is likely to be more tightly locked down. Check that every folder in the path exists on the server, and that the appropriate permissions are given.

And the other thing - you aren't expecting this to take a snapshot of the client PC, are you? Because it will, on your development machine...but there is not a chance in heck of it working in production where the server and client are separate machines!
