saving image from screen

[HexaDeveloper]

hi all how can i use the graphics object of the form to store its contents as an image thanks Generator

You can't. Use the DrawToBitmap method of the form, or create an Image and use the Graphics.CopyFromScreen method on a Graphics object for the image.

Create a Bitmap object and a Graphics object from it, then draw using the Graphics object.
