merge 2 images side by side inted of capture screen

Question

hi is there onother way to save pictureBox1+pictureBox2 side by side instead of taking snapshot?

int x = 10; // Where inside the form do you want to take a snapshot
int y = 35; // Where inside the form do you want to take a snapshot
int width = 470; // width of snapshot
int height = 385; // height of snapshot

int formLocX = this.Location.X; // Where is the form on the desktop?
int formLocY = this.Location.Y; // Where is the form on the desktop?
int offsetX = this.Size.Width - this.DisplayRectangle.Width; // this is the offset, i.e. the border
int offsetY = this.Size.Height - this.DisplayRectangle.Height; // this is the offset, i.e. the border
x = x + formLocX + offsetX; // Add where you want the screenshot taken with its location and the offset
y = y + formLocY + offsetY; // Add where you want the screenshot taken with its location and the offset

Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(width, height, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);
g.CopyFromScreen(x, y, 0, 0, bmp.Size, CopyPixelOperation.SourceCopy);

pictureBox1.Image = bmp;

Manuel, The best solution would be merging the two images into one larger third image and show it inside a PictureBox control. The following thread suggests useful ways to handle merging images using C#: https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/forums/how-to-show-multiple-image-in-picture-box

Thank you i got a solucion that work´s now if i what to overlapone over the other how to apply? void Main() { Image img1 = Image.FromFile( "1.png" ); Image img2 = Image.FromFile( "2.png" ); Bitmap bm = MergeTwoImages(img1, img2, true ); bm.Save( "result.png" , ImageFormat.Png); } public static Bitmap MergeTwoImages(Image firstImage, Image secondImage, bool resizeToMinHeight = false ) { if (resizeToMinHeight) { if (firstImage.Height > secondImage.Height) firstImage = ResizeImage(firstImage, secondImage.Height); else secondImage = ResizeImage(secondImage, firstImage.Height); } int outputImageWidth = firstImage.Width + secondImage.Width; int outputImageHeight = firstImage.Height > secondImage.Height ? firstImage.Height : secondImage.Height; Bitmap outputImage = new Bitmap(outputImageWidth, outputImageHeight, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb); using (Graphics graphics = Graphics.FromImage(outputImage)) { graphics.Clear(Color.Transparent); graphics.DrawImage(firstImage, new Rectangle( new Point(), firstImage.Size), new Rectangle( new Point(), firstImage.Size), GraphicsUnit.Pixel); graphics.DrawImage(secondImage, new Rectangle( new Point(firstImage.Width, 0), secondImage.Size), new Rectangle( new Point(), secondImage.Size), GraphicsUnit.Pixel); } return outputImage; } public static Bitmap ResizeImage(Image image, int targetheight) { float scale = ( float )targetheight / ( float )image.Height; return new Bitmap(image, ( int )(image.Width * scale), ( int )(image.Height * scale));
