Take a screenshot (BitBlt and DC's)
My code here will allow you take a screen shot of the entire screen.

Assumptions
Remeber when taking a screen shot the picture gets added to the destinations Image property not its image property. also don't forget to set the Autoredraw property of the destination of the image to True. Thanks!
