Anyone? Bueller? Seriously, any way to capture output from a browser
control and render the stream to an image? TIA.

One way is to use the method described in this
example (i.e., Thumbnail Generator Web Service):

Thanks, but it doesn't work in windows forms. I get the "Invalid parameter
used" error message.

That example used to work when Microsoft exposed a neat
IExtractImage Interface for html files.

It is no longer supported!

However, you can try this method:
