I have a user control which renders some text and also has a child control
that renders an image and other graphics. Is there a way I could get my user
control to draw to an Image. What I want to do is have my User Control added
to a Word document as part of a test report.
So I'd like to have my control and all child controls render to an image
that I could then save and insert into a Word document.
Any ideas or examples?
Thanks

.NET 2.0 on has the new DrawToBitmap method. Does this not work for you?

Yikes...I didn't know about that one. Sometimes it's just a matter of
looking in the right place in the framework. I haven't tried it yet but I'm
guessing that yes the method DrawToBitmap will allow me to um...draw my
control to a bitmap.

Thanks Bob :)
