Screenshots (cached websites)

[Martin Ho]

When you go to google and search for some term, you'll see they have
something called "Cached", when you click on it, it will produce a
screenshot of the page, when it was last visited by their browser.
How do I go about creating the screenshots like those in Google in
VB.NET?

Thanks a lot,
Martin

Google simply cached the HTML code of the page in its cache and adds some
information to the HTML file. You can use 'WebClient.DownloadFile' to
download a file from the Web.

But google will take file along with all images and everything... is
there a way to do this somehow?
