this is an ASP.NET class library/assembly, which is supported by SharePoint farm solutions. however, it does not support authentication. as it runs server side, eventually you could create a local anonymous mapping for the site or something, but that’s as far as you could go. you can try iecapt which uses Internet Explorer and add your site to the local intranet area, which would automatically authenticate you, but there’s the downside of runnig… well, IE, while this solution uses a webkit based rendering mode.

this is a generic helper class. you will need to set up a web application or sharepoint farm solution that either requests the URL or automatically sets the url (current perhaps) and just shows a link button (a demo web app is provided).

BTW, I do custom sharepoint development in case you’re interested.

Hi, yes I recognized your profile from Bind Tuning Support you helped me with. I have tried IECapt in the past but it was hit and miss, never worked properly. btw, my work intranet is stuck on IE7. I’m not an ASP developer, so I was looking for something easy and basic to install, to run on all sites including SharePoint. If you could somehow wrap this in a WSP SharePoint solution, I would definitely purchase it. Thanks.

How exactly would you want this to work? If you want to run a bulk generation of various websites and pages in order to get the images, it would be better to run a command line interface. If you want to click a button on a page and get the image then it makes sence to create a webpart. Either way, I can’t assure the solution will overcome the authentication issue by itself, so it may require some additional local configuration. Feel free to add me to skype so we can talk.

I have a preliminary working version for SharePoint. I’m not sure if envato will accept it because they don’t have a SharePoint category for now, so my guess is I will sell it separately. Due to the high restrictions of it running a background process and writing to the file system, it had to be a Farm Solution with GAC assemblies. It is turn key. Just deploy and add a webpart to any page and it generates and opens the image in a new tab. Let me know if this is in fact what you were looking for. BTW I had to use iecapt due to load time issues, and no luck overcoming authentication so the site must be anonymous enabled.
