Copy Form's image to bitmap in memory

How can I copy the image in the clientrectangle of my form to a bitmap in memory? I know how to go from bitmap to form, but not the other way around. Thanks!

You can use the DrawToBitmap() method. Mostly works, but you might have controls that don't implement it, like RTB or 3rd party controls. The backup method is Graphics.CopyFromScreen().

Assuming you're referring to the BackgroundImage property of the form.

var bmp = ((Bitmap)this.BackgroundImage);
