The following code sample shows you how to save the entire webpage as an image format. You can save the webpage as full size image or your size of thumbnail. Call CaptureWebpage method and pass your webpage url or local HTML file path.

C# .Net Code.

    
WebsitesScreenshot.WebsitesScreenshot  _Obj;
_Obj = new WebsitesScreenshot.WebsitesScreenshot ();
WebsitesScreenshot.WebsitesScreenshot.Result _Result;
_Result = _Obj.CaptureWebpage("http://www.WebsitesScreenshot.com");
if (_Result == WebsitesScreenshot.WebsitesScreenshot.Result.Captured)
{
	_Obj.ImageFormat = WebsitesScreenshot.
		WebsitesScreenshot.ImageFormats.GIF;
	_Obj.SaveImage ("c:\\WebsitesScreenshot.gif");
}            
_Obj.Dispose();

VB .Net code.

    
Dim _Obj As New WebsitesScreenshot.WebsitesScreenshot
Dim _Result As WebsitesScreenshot.WebsitesScreenshot.Result
With _Obj
	_Result = .CaptureWebpage("http://www.WebsitesScreenshot.com")
	If _Result = WebsitesScreenshot.WebsitesScreenshot. _
				Result.Captured Then
		.ImageFormat = WebsitesScreenshot. _
				WebsitesScreenshot.ImageFormats.GIF
		.SaveImage("c:\WebsitesScreenshot.gif")
	End If
End With
_Obj.Dispose()

WebsitesScreenshot.WebsitesScreenshot _Obj;
_Obj = new WebsitesScreenshot.WebsitesScreenshot();
WebsitesScreenshot.WebsitesScreenshot.Result _Result;
System.Drawing.Bitmap _MyBitmap = null;
_Result = _Obj.CaptureWebpage("www.ConvertHTMLtoImage.com");
if (_Result == WebsitesScreenshot.
	WebsitesScreenshot.Result.Captured)
{
	//Get captured image in memory
	_MyBitmap = _Obj.GetImage();
	_MyBitmap.Save("c:\\test.png");
	_Obj.Dispose();
}

VB .Net code.

    
Dim _Obj As New WebsitesScreenshot.WebsitesScreenshot
Dim _Result As WebsitesScreenshot.WebsitesScreenshot.Result
Dim _MyBitmap As System.Drawing.Bitmap
With _Obj
	_Result = .CaptureWebpage("www.ConvertHTMLtoImage.com")
	If _Result = WebsitesScreenshot. _
			WebsitesScreenshot.Result.Captured Then
		'Get captured image in memory
		_MyBitmap = .GetImage
		_MyBitmap.Save("c:\test.png")
		_Obj.Dispose()
	End If
End With
