    IHTMLDocument2 doc = (IHTMLDocument2)browser.Document.DomDocument;
    HTMLBody body = (HTMLBody)doc.body;
    Bitmap testImage;

    foreach (IHTMLImgElement img in doc.images)
    {
        if (img.src.IndexOf("some text here", 0) != -1) 
        {
            IHTMLControlRange imgRange;
            imgRange = (IHTMLControlRange)body.createControlRange();
            imgRange.add((IHTMLControlElement)img);
            imgRange.execCommand("Copy", false, null);
            //captchaUrl = img.GetAttribute("src");
            testImage = (Bitmap)Clipboard.GetDataObject().GetData(DataFormats.Bitmap);
        }
    }

Hi guys, this is my third attempt at taking an image from the WebBrowser control. First I tried by src, this game me a bad image. Then I tried to inject javascript, wasen’t successful. Now I am trying this. It is finding the image, but I cant convert it to a Bitmap.

Any help?

Edit: Code is c#

Edit Edit: I just put the WebBrowser control in question on the form to see a visual representation, and the image I am trying to pull isn’t loading. Maybe this is the problem?
