Record Video of Screen using .NET technologies [closed]

Solution 1:

There is no need for a third party DLL. This simple method captures the current screen image into a .NET Bitmap object.

    private Image CaptureScreen()
    {
        Rectangle screenSize = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds;
        Bitmap target = new Bitmap(screenSize.Width,screenSize.Height);
        using(Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(target))
        {
            g.CopyFromScreen(0,0,0,0,new Size(screenSize.Width,screenSize.Height));
        }
        return target;
    }

I am sure you can figure out how to capture a smaller portion of the screen, if that is needed :-).

Solution 2:

You can use Windows media Encoder SDK to build a c# application to record the screen. There are in-built options to record the entire desktop, a particular window or a portion of the screen.

Solution 3:

There is a dll out there that can do it. Don't remember the name of it but it's used by Jing. A friend of mine implemented a screen recorder in just a few minutes by using that dll, just for testing. Check out Jing and you'll probably find the dll they use.
