Question

I am trying to make a app which can capture a webpage. For that i am using iecapt.exe in my web application. When i am running it in my localhost its working fine but its not working on web server.

Is there anyway i can run it on webserver or does it work on webserver?? I am not sure.

The purpose of this app is to capture the div or page and save it as an Imaage file(Jpeg or Png).

If there in any other way i can achieve the goal.

Thanks

Sorry I think i should explain my problem a bit more. What i m trying to do here is I have give option to the user to upload a image which i am going to set as background of a div. Now user can drop multiple Text Editor on the div and input the text.

Now we have a div with a background image and text in it. Now i want to export that div as it is to a .png or .jpeg file.

Just a guess, but you are probably missing its dll on the webserver or some configuration setting in your web.config.

Since iecapt, I believe, is a program for the client side to capture a webpage, it should be any surprise at all that it does not work as you expect on a webserver.

Hi Wes
Is there any other way i can accomplish the task.

Sorry the only way I can think of is writing an active x control to do this. I honestly do not think that anyone would allow you to take screenshots of their computer. That is a high security risk operation.

I don;'t think he wants screenshots of their computer. He wants to turn the HTML he is sending to the client, to an image.

Yeah... probably. He has updated what he wants since.

Yeah, it's hard to know what people saw when they posted their response, b/c they often get edited like that.

Hard to know what the OP really wants anyway.

*grin* how unusual....

Here[^] is a tutorial, basically you need to run a web browser control and point it to a page, in order for the program you were using to work, or for any code to work. The fact you're on the server, with HTML that has not yet been rendered, is the reason your control does not work. It does not care that you're on a web server, but it DOES care that it wants to work with a web browser pointed to a page, not a web server sending one out as text.
