Hi divyeshdaivagna,

Try looking at this related post: http://forums.asp.net/t/1369200.aspx

Hope this helps.

 Hi,

Its possible only,

try the following...

Step 1:  Download the DLL UrlScreenShot.dll and give reference to that DLL

Step2:   have a new page contains the grid to print(eg:grid.aspx)(working as a background process)

step3:   write the following code in the page (eg:page1.aspx)  button click event

using System;
using System.Web;

using be.taiki.UrlScreenshot;

public partial class page1 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
   public string ScreenshotFullLength(string Url,string fname)
    {
        UrlScreenshot Shot = new UrlScreenshot(Url);
        int newHeight = (Shot.Bitmap.Width / 400) * Shot.Bitmap.Height;
        Shot.Resize(400, newHeight);

        string Filename = LazyAssFilename();
        //Shot.Bitmap.Save(Server.MapPath(Filename));
        Shot.Bitmap.Save("D:/" + fname);

        return Filename;
    }
    private string LazyAssFilename()
    {
        return Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Replace("-", "") + ".jpg";
    }

    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        ScreenshotFullLength("http://localhost:2462/UrlScreenshot-Example/grid.aspx", "grid.jpg");

    }
}

conclusion:

after u click the button the image with that grid is stored in the path as u specified(here in D Drive) as a image.
