Question

I have a Panel where the contents are added dynamically and exported as an image file. I export the content as image using the following code below.

 Bitmap tempBmp = new Bitmap(pnlCanvas.Width, pnlCanvas.Height);
 pnlCanvas.DrawToBitmap(tempBmp, new Rectangle(0, 0, pnlCanvas.Width, pnlCanvas.Height));
 tempBmp.Save(fileName);

In a particular case i have a RichTextBox control added to the panel. I found that the control is not seen when exported.

I am not sure what goes wrong. Please guide me what should be done.

Thanks in Advance,
K

As it is stated MSDN DrawToBitmap doesn’t work with RichTextBox. Try painting the content using GDI+ manually.
