[RESOLVED] [02/03] Saving area of asp page to jpg.

I am capturing a report in an ASP.Net page. I want to embed a macromedia flash object (MX 2004 is the version I have). This object allows the user to specify dots on a map. When the user is done I want them to press a button that then captures that area of the screen to a bitmap or something. Once it is a bitmap I can then save it to a database. I have no problem saving bitmaps, do it all the time. What I don't know how to do is do a screen capture using ASP.Net of a certain area of the screen. Any help is appreciated.

Because this is all happening on the client side, there is no ASP.NET for this. Since the map is being created in flash, I would suggest that you get your flash object to do the saving to database. Else, you will need some sort of an ActiveX control that screenshots the window and then 'uploads' to the server where it can be saved.

Since this is an intranet based app I solved it by writing the image creation part of this program in regular ol vb.net. I'll just call the app from the page and let the database link the image file back to the online report.
