    As per the subject, does anyone have even the faintest idea, using C#, of how I make a thumbnail screenshot of a webpage programatically? There are one or two ActiveX components out there that do this, and they render it exactly as IE would, which leads me to believe that it's some kind of functionality in IE. Perhaps it's somehow loading the website into an invisible browser window and taking a screenshot that way? I need to work this out for at least two or three tasks I'd like to implement solutions for. Please note that this has to be able to be completely automatic and doable from nothing more than a given URL.
