Need a small server component that can be called from a C# application to generate a .GIF image from a simple HTML page.
The component would always be passed a set of parameters which would then be used to 'name' the .gif file. The file would always be output to the same folder. If an image of the same name exists, it would simply replace it.
No need for a GUI or any other complicating elements.
Will consider a tool that requires licensing a third party app as long as it is not too expensive.
Delivery could be a .dll, activex control, or anything else you may recommend.
Just need an efficient way to do this and quickly.
No dialog boxes. If it fails, it should fail gracefully. Should have low resource requirements and run in background.
If you have a better suggestion let me know but be sure itis very low overhead and requires no interaction with the application itself.
