I have a string variable which holds HTML markup. This HTML markup basically represents the email content.
Now I want to create an image from this string content which actually holds the HTML markup. I don't want to create the HTML file by writing this content into them. I just want to create an image file using this string.
Here's what I have:
string emailBody="<html><head></head><body><p>This is my text<p>...</body</html>"
How can I create an Image from this emailBody string content?
<!--ForExport data in iamge -->
<script type="text/javascript">
function ConvertToImage(btnExport) {
html2canvas($("#dvTable")[0]).then(function (canvas) {
var base64 = canvas.toDataURL();
$("[id*=hfImageData]").val(base64);
__doPostBack(btnExport.name, "");
});
return false;
}
</script>

protected void ExportToImage(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string base64 = Request.Form[hfImageData.UniqueID].Split(',')[1];
byte[] bytes = Convert.FromBase64String(base64);
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "image/png";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=name.png");
Response.Buffer = true;
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
Response.BinaryWrite(bytes);
Response.End();
}
Try the following:
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Threading;
using System.Windows.Forms;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var source = @"
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>An image from W3Schools:</p>
<img
src=""http://www.w3schools.com/images/w3schools_green.jpg""
alt=""W3Schools.com""
width=""104""
height=""142"">
</body>
</html>";
StartBrowser(source);
Console.ReadLine();
}
private static void StartBrowser(string source)
{
var th = new Thread(() =>
{
var webBrowser = new WebBrowser();
webBrowser.ScrollBarsEnabled = false;
webBrowser.DocumentCompleted +=
webBrowser_DocumentCompleted;
webBrowser.DocumentText = source;
Application.Run();
});
th.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
th.Start();
}
static void
webBrowser_DocumentCompleted(
object sender,
WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
{
var webBrowser = (WebBrowser)sender;
using (Bitmap bitmap =
new Bitmap(
webBrowser.Width,
webBrowser.Height))
{
webBrowser
.DrawToBitmap(
bitmap,
new System.Drawing
.Rectangle(0, 0, bitmap.Width, bitmap.Height));
bitmap.Save(@"filename.jpg",
System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
}
}
}
Note: Credits should go to Hans Passant for his excellent answer on the question WebBrowser Control in a new thread which inspired this solution.
