If you add a reference to System.Windows.Forms, the screen shot is taken at the server side, so, the computer that runs your ASP.NET application. But you want to take a screen shot of the client-side: the rendered page in the browser.

The best thing you can do is to convert your page to a PDF instead of an image:

For sending a mail, have a look at this tip:

Instead of using iTextSharp, you can also use WkHtmltoPdf, and then the PDF file is outputted to a file:

Error oucurring in Perious solution

Script control 'UpdateProgress1' is not a registered script control. Script controls must be registered using RegisterScriptControl() before calling RegisterScriptDescriptors().
Parameter name: scriptControl

Have you already tried the WkHtmltoPdf solution? This error shouldn't occur if you use that.

Member-515487 29-Oct-13 10:04am

it was iTextSharp error

Thomas Daniels 29-Oct-13 10:06am

Then try the WkHtmltoPdf solution to avoid this error.
