Resize WebBrowser to fit content

Hi,
I'm trying to take a screenshot of some different webpages, but I need to resize my webbrowser control to fit the web page before using DrawToBitmap to create the image.

My code is

WebBrowser wb = new WebBrowser();
wb.ScrollBarsEnabled = false;
wb.ScriptErrorsSuppressed = true;
wb.Navigate(url);
while (wb.ReadyState != WebBrowserReadyState.Complete) { Application.DoEvents(); }  
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(wb.Width, wb.Height);
wb.DrawToBitmap(bitmap, new Rectangle(0, 0, wb.Width, wb.Height));
return bitmap;

Open in new window

I've tried various combinations of

Document.Window.Size
Document.Body.Document.Window.Size.Width

Open in new window

but it still chops bits off the sides and bottom.

Thanks

I don't think its the Document object that you should be looking at - I would think that is referring to the client-side element. Try setting the height and width of the WebBrowser control.

WebBrowser wb = new WebBrowser();
wb.ScrollBarsEnabled = false;
wb.ScriptErrorsSuppressed = true;
wb.Width = 1024;
wb.Height = 768;
wb.Navigate(url);
while (wb.ReadyState != WebBrowserReadyState.Complete) { Application.DoEvents(); }  
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(wb.Width, wb.Height);
wb.DrawToBitmap(bitmap, new Rectangle(0, 0, wb.Width, wb.Height));
return bitmap;

Open in new window

I am, but it needs to resize itself according to the size of content in order to take the screenshot of the entire page
