Hi. You can take the help of this article and video which will take the screenshot and it will save that screenshot in a particular folder. https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/2d2d83/how-to-capture-a-screen-using-C-Sharp/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMmKaIdTgiI For Certain interval to capture the Screenshot you can use Timer. To Save the image in database there are 2 options, 1/ Save the image in a particular folder and after that save the image path in database. To implement this just create the table and in that particular column insert it. 2/ If you want to save the image in database then directly you can't do, for that you need to convert the image into byte[] and then save it. To implement this you need to follow some steps and for that you can follow this article, https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadfile/e628d9/inserting-retrieving-images-from-sql-server-database-without-using-stored-procedures/ https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/33310/C-Save-and-Load-Image-from-Database But the recommended way to insert image into database is the 1st option. Let me know if you need any other help. Thanks.
