    DrawToBitmap not right

    I am trying to create a screenshot of my geomap object:

    Code:
       Private Function CreateScreenshot(ByVal Control As Control) As Bitmap
    
            Dim Screenshot As New Bitmap(Control.Width, Control.Height)
            Control.DrawToBitmap(Screenshot, New Rectangle(20, ListBox1.Top, 1100, 800))
            Screenshot.Save("WorldMap.jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)
            Return Screenshot
    
        End Function
    
            CreateScreenshot(geoMap1)
    Its the worldmap on my form.
    Name:  form.jpg

    Whatever I try with sizing the image always turns out like this:

    Name:  WorldMap.jpg

    Try...

    Dim Screenshot As New Bitmap(1100, 800)

    This is also wrong...

    Control.DrawToBitmap(Screenshot, New Rectangle(20, ListBox1.Top, 1100, 800))

    Left and top should both be zero

    No change, still the same.

    Code:
        Private Function CreateScreenshot(ByVal Control As Control) As Bitmap
    
            Dim Screenshot As New Bitmap(1100, 800)
             Control.DrawToBitmap(Screenshot, New Rectangle(0, 0, 1100, 800))
            Screenshot.Save("WorldMap.jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)
            Return Screenshot
    
        End Function

    I can screenshot the whole form with this but its not just the map.

    Code:
            Dim bounds = Me.Bounds
            Using bitmap As New Bitmap(bounds.Width - 15, bounds.Height - 8)
                Using g = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap)
                    g.CopyFromScreen(New Point(bounds.Left + 8, bounds.Top), Point.Empty, bounds.Size)
                End Using
                bitmap.Save("WorldMap.jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)
            End Using
