Screen capture with System.Drawing not working

Questions & Answers

I’m trying to create a screenshot of the entire screen, not just the window that Unity is running in, but currently the image file that is saved is just black.

Relevant code at the moment:

	Bitmap screenGrab = new Bitmap(screenWidth, screenHeight, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);    

	System.Drawing.Graphics sG = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(screenGrab);    	

	sG.CopyFromScreen(screenWidth, screenHeight,0,0, screenGrab.Size, CopyPixelOperation.SourceCopy);    

	screenGrab.Save("TestScreen.jpeg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);

It saves an image of the correct resolution, screenWidth and screenHeight are the correct size of my monitor, I’ve tried Save() with different filetypes, but I still just get a 100% black image. If it helps at all, I mainly followed this tutorial to create the script.

I think the API - you’re using will only work with Microsoft’s .NET, if you’re using this script inside Unity, this probably won’t work, as Unity uses Mono inside.
