Screen scrape to jpeg?

[whatsthehampton]

Dear all,

Using screen scraping is it possible to scrape the URL and then produce a jpeg of the screen?

I'n not sure where to start with this one.

All help most appreciated.
Cheers,

To do the screen scraping you can use the httpWebRequest and httpWebResponse classes. Once you've retrieved the HTML, I imagine you'll have to use GDI+ to somehow convert that HTML into a jpg. Alternatively, there are 3rd party applications listed on google that already do this step.

Thank you ca8msm as always,

For the record I managed to work it out and although I ended up making a winForms application, I have blogged how on my website if anyone is interested. I really enjoyed this, if not for nothing else than getting away from web projects for a while.
