I need to create a bitmap from a button control ( System.Windows.Forms.Butto

Sounds little confusing. Can you explore it a bit?
ASKER
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
System.Windows.Forms.Butto
this.Controls.Add ( myButton );
Bitmap myButtonBitmap = new Bitmap (myButton.Width, myButton.Height, myButton.CreateGraphics ( ));
myButtonBitmap.Save ( @"E:\myButtonBitmap.bmp" );
}
What I would expect from this fragment of code is a bmp file that contains a "screen capture" of the button itself. Instead, I'm just getting a file with a black background and nothing else. What am I doing wrong?

If you want entire screen shot this is a one good article to look at.

nm i see what you mean in paint.-- if i just use the windows viewer it basically just shows the rectangle of the button.
