Get a screenshot of the web browser control?

Question

There are a lot threads about this but none of them were clear and none I tried actually even worked right.

What is the code to get the contents of the entire web browser control (even that which is off screen)?

It looks like they did have:

webBrowser1.DrawToBitmap(); // but its unsupported and doesnt work

1. 3rd party api - not wasting my time
2. .DrawToBitmap and nonanswer-links
3. 100 wrong answers
4. just takes a screenshot

Try to make sure you are calling the method in the DocumentCompleted event.

webBrowser1.Width = wb.Document.Body.ScrollRectangle.Width;
webBrowser1.Height = wb.Document.Body.ScrollRectangle.Height;

Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(webBrowser1.Width, webBrowser1.Height);
webBrowser1.DrawToBitmap(bitmap, new Rectangle(0, 0, webBrowser1.Width, webBrowser1.Height));
