Hi Abubakr Mahdi, Here is an article check it let me know issue is fixed or not convert (export) DataGridView to Bitmap (PNG) Image file in Windows Forms (WinForms) Application using C# Form Controls In the below Form, there’s a DataGridView and a Save as Image Button. Populating DataGridView In order to populate the DataGridView, I have created a dynamic DataTable with some sample data. Add one DataGridView and one Button private void Form1_Load( object sender, EventArgs e) { this .BindDataGridView(); } private void BindDataGridView() { DataTable dt = new DataTable(); dt.Columns.AddRange( new DataColumn[3] { new DataColumn( "Id" , typeof ( int )), new DataColumn( "Name" , typeof ( string )), new DataColumn( "Country" , typeof ( string )) }); dt.Rows.Add(1, "John Hammond" , "United States" ); dt.Rows.Add(2, "Mudassar Khan" , "India" ); dt.Rows.Add(3, "Suzanne Mathews" , "France" ); dt.Rows.Add(4, "Robert Schidner" , "Russia" ); this .dataGridView1.DataSource = dt; } Convert (Export) DataGridView to Bitmap (PNG) Image When the Save as Image Button is clicked, first the DataGridView height is adjusted based on the count of rows so that all rows of the DataGridView are captured in the Image. A Bitmap object is created and the DataGridView is drawn in to the Bitmap object. Once the DataGridView is drawn, the DataGridView is resized back to its original height. Finally the Bitmap object is saved to a folder as PNG image file. private void btnSave_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { //Resize DataGridView to full height. int height = dataGridView1.Height; dataGridView1.Height = dataGridView1.RowCount * dataGridView1.RowTemplate.Height; //Create a Bitmap and draw the DataGridView on it. Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap( this .dataGridView1.Width, this .dataGridView1.Height); dataGridView1.DrawToBitmap(bitmap, new Rectangle(0, 0, this .dataGridView1.Width, this .dataGridView1.Height)); //Resize DataGridView back to original height. dataGridView1.Height = height; //Save the Bitmap to folder. bitmap.Save(@ "D:\Images\DataGridView.png" ); } https://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/Convert-Export-DataGridView-to-Bitmap-PNG-Image-in-Windows-Forms-WinForms-Application-using-C-and-VBNet.aspx Thanks
