Not able to take screenshot using C#

Question

I am having a hard time with this C# application I am trying to modify. The code originates from: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/485883/Create-your-own-Snipping-Tool

When I run the code it executes fine, you see the marker which should let you mark a sector of your screen that you want to take a screenshot of, but I am not able to mark any sector of the screen.

As the comments on the linked page already suggest you have to enable the event handlers you created:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    pictureBox1.MouseDown += new MouseEventHandler(pictureBox1_MouseDown);
    pictureBox1.MouseMove += new MouseEventHandler(pictureBox1_MouseMove);
}
