C# Selenium - How do you take a screenshot in Visual Studio 2015

I need some help when it comes to taking a screenshot in visual studio 2015 using selenium and C#. I keep getting an error message when running the code below. 

            Screenshot ss = ((ITakesScreenshot)driver).GetScreenshot();
            ss.SaveAsFile(@"C:\Temp\Download\Image.png", 
            ScreenshotImageFormat.Png);

The error message I get is "System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalExcepton: A generic error occurred in GDI+"

If anyone is currently able to take screenshots, please let me know if you are doing anything differently.

using this you can save the picture to your computer and show it in the picturebox

drv.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.youtube.com/");
Thread.Sleep(2000);
ITakesScreenshot screenshot= drv as ITakesScreenshot;
Screenshot screenshot1 = screenshot.GetScreenshot();
screenshot1.SaveAsFile(@"D:\KayıtResmi.png",ScreenshotImageFormat.Png);
screenshot1.SaveAsFile(@"D:\KayıtResmi.png",ScreenshotImageFormat.Png);
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(@"D:\KayıtResmi.png");
pictureBox1.Image = (Image)bitmap;
pictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage

Finally!

I found that there was an issue with the way that I had the file path setup, I changed my initial code to the following code and now it's working. 

        Screenshot ss = ((ITakesScreenshot)driver).GetScreenshot();
        ss.SaveAsFile("C://Image.png", 
        ScreenshotImageFormat.Png);

Note This will save on your C: drive.
