Register third party dll?

  1. Hi,

    I'm trying to make screen shots of web pages using this component:

    http://blog.taiki.be/index.php/2008/07/generating-screenshots-of-webpages-using-net/

    While it's working great on my dev server, I can't get it to work on DASP. I keep having this error:

    Connection Interrupted
    The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

    The dll has been put in the bin folder.

    Any idea why it doesn't work?

    Thanks

  2. Any idea why it works on my dev server and on another production server but not here?

    I can't see any error so it's hard to find the trouble!

    Thanks

    connection interrupted usually indicate the application crashed.

    I am just making a wild guess here!!!

    Our hosting platform is rather secure (compare to most of our competitors who claims to be Windows hosting expert) and it does not allow application to access the IE component. IE is one of the most hacked software on the net.

    Most screenscraping software uses the IE component because it is readily available on all servers.

    Again.. i could be completely off.

  5. As a matter of fact, this component uses IE... so I guess I'm screwed!

    Any solution to make screen shots without using IE?

    Thanks
