screenshot taker help

[xx_lol_xx]

have this code i found

Dim ScreenSize As Size = New Size(My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Width, My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Height)
Dim screenGrab As New Bitmap(My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Width, My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Height)
Dim g As System.Drawing.Graphics = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(screenGrab)
g.CopyFromScreen(New Point(0, 0), New Point(0, 0), ScreenSize)
screenGrab.Save("C:\" & Label1.Text & ".jpeg")

Put i get this error on the screenGrab.Save part

A generic error occurred in GDI+.

Any hellp or can someone give me different code that works. I want the screenshot to take and save upon mouse click

Which line causes an error? Check what's in your Label1.Text. I think that the filename you try to save the screen to has illegal characters or empty. I checked with this:

screenGrab.Save("C:\test.jpeg")

and it worked as charm.

I can confirm this works for me as well, even with 2 monitors.

        Dim ScreenSize As Size = New Size(My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Width, My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Height)
                Dim screenGrab As New Bitmap(My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Width, My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Height)
                Dim g As System.Drawing.Graphics = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(screenGrab)
                g.CopyFromScreen(New Point(0, 0), New Point(0, 0), ScreenSize)
                screenGrab.Save("C:\file.jpeg")

My guess is you don't have permission to write to the folder on "C:\", in Win7 I usually use one of the public folders to save images when testing code.

Also it is a good idea to set the image format in the .Save call, in VB10/WinXP just calling screenGrab.Save("c:\file.jpeg") actually saved the image as a PNG type on my system.

Your right edgemeal, although i found it out for myself it was the problem. I didnt have permission. Which is strange because I haven't had windows 7 long but on xp it allows me to create files in their.

Thanks for your help.
