Hello,

I want to capture desktop screenshot frequently during my automation execution and save it in a particular folder. My code is all working except the one to capture the desktop which is the below.

Image img = Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting.UITestControl.Desktop.CaptureImage();
img.Save(_path, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);

The first code is not working even though I have added the proper reference. It says

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Playback, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Is there a way to solve this? Or can you provide me an alternate code just to capture the full desktop?

Thanks in advance

This is resolved using bitmap codes from the earlier posts. Thanks
