Well thanx for the reply. I have written a code on windows service using c#.net.It takes the screenshot every 5seconds.Its works well in my computer and saves the screenshot in the given path.But when I give the path to save the .jpeg file taken as a screenshot within the networkits shows the exception A generic error occurred in GDI+. Can there be a solution for this exception?

You have to be more specific about what exactly are you trying to do. As such a service does not have any user interface and there is no reason to put GDI+ code in it. If you are trying to build some graphics or shapes at runtime using a Windows Service you will have to create images on the fly and add graphics objects and save them.
