Hi guys i have problem when i take screen shoot from screen it give me exception

error the handle is invalid as following

ee the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** Exception Text **************
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The handle is invalid
at System.Drawing.Graphics.CopyFromScreen(Int32 sourceX, Int32 sourceY, Int32 destinationX, Int32 destinationY, Size blockRegionSize, CopyPixelOperation copyPixelOperation)
at System.Drawing.Graphics.CopyFromScreen(Int32 sourceX, Int32 sourceY, Int32 destinationX, Int32 destinationY, Size blockRegionSize)
at Sales.Form1.timer4_Tick(Object sender, EventArgs e)
at System.Windows.Forms.Timer.OnTick(EventArgs e)
at System.Windows.Forms.Timer.TimerNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)

this is my code as following :

under timer tick event problem happen in screen shoot

the proplem in these lines

-------------

Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height);
Graphics graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap as Image);
graphics.CopyFromScreen(0, 0, 0, 0, bitmap.Size);
bitmap.Save("C:\\screenshot.jpeg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);

---------

if i put these lines under button event work ok

but if i but these lines under timer make problem and give me exception above why

this code of screenshoot work in my windows xp but when i put in windows server 2003 it give me error in screenshoot under timer event

Ahmedsa, use [] code tags instead of <> tags. Also, please format your code and use some whitespace, indents, etc.

Code that is jammed all together is extremely hard to read and debug.

For your issue, I would start with formatting your code and putting using() {} blocks around all objects that implement IDisposable.

It could be that the code is holding on to open handles where a second part of the code can access the object because it hasn't been released.

Use of using blocks will help ensure that items get released properly.

Also, is this a service by any chance? If so, take a look at this.
