How do you programmatically obtain a picture of a .Net control?

Best Answer

There's a method on every control called DrawToBitmap. You don't need to p/invoke to do this.

Control c = new TextBox();
System.Drawing.Bitmap bmp = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(c.Width, c.Height);
c.DrawToBitmap(bmp, c.ClientRectangle);

C# – How to enable assembly bind failure logging (Fusion) in .NET

Add the following values to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fusion
Add:
DWORD ForceLog set value to 1
DWORD LogFailures set value to 1
DWORD LogResourceBinds set value to 1
DWORD EnableLog set value to 1
String LogPath set value to folder for logs (e.g. C:\FusionLog\)

Make sure you include the backslash after the folder name and that the Folder exists.

You need to restart the program that you're running to force it to read those registry settings.

By the way, don't forget to turn off fusion logging when not needed.
