Taking a Snap Shot of screen in .NET

Introduction: Here I need to take a snap shot my screen with my web application on just a button click.

Requirement: For this I need only a Button, by clicking on that the snap shot of screen is taken and saved automatically.

Namespaces Required:

using System.Drawing;

using System.Drawing.Imaging;

Click event of Button:

Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(1000, 1000); //declaring size of snap
Graphics graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap as System.Drawing.Image);
graphics.CopyFromScreen(0, 0, 0, 0, bitmap.Size);
bitmap.Save(@"c:\Snapshot\screenshot1.bmp", ImageFormat.Bmp); //Path to save image

Result:
This code will save the snap shot of screen to the location defined in the code.

Fade background screen while loading

CSS:-

<style>
.overlay
{
position: fixed;
background-image:url('../images/loadingnew.gif');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center;
background-color:Black;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
opacity: 0.2;
-moz-opacity: 0.2;
filter: alpha(opacity=20);
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=20)";
z-index: 10000;
}</style>

Now at your design page just use a Update Progress like this-

<asp:UpdateProgress ID="UpdateProgress2" runat="server" DynamicLayout="true">
<ProgressTemplate>
<div class="overlay"></div>
</ProgressTemplate>
</asp:UpdateProgress>

Don't forget to declare ScriptManager in your design page, and place your controls in UpdatePanel.
On the click event of button use this code-

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000);
