I need to get the color of a single pixel on the screen. I have searched the helpfiles, and the internet for days. I am hoping for something similar in functionality to the GetPixel method of the Bitmap Class. if there are no built in functions in C# or ways to get around to do it. I have no reservations of writing my own class to do this, but I don't know how to access the screen at all. Please help.

I don't like the way I have to do it, it takes up more memory that way. I have to take a picture of the whole screen as a bitmap. through the classes in the graphics.cs file. (not mine I found them on the net :) ) . I knew that I could do it something like that, but I wanted to just get the pixel. oh well.

ya, that's nice idea though. working with screens' etc isn't it fun !!
but sometimes debuging becomes to much hard specially in drag drop actions.
