Hi Alex,

Here is an idea of how to accomplish what you want to do. First add a web browser to a form in the Windows Forms application. Then convert the form into an image. You can go further and allow the user to print/print preview the image. To see how this is done, check out two entries in my weblog at:

http://blogs.prenia.com/cathi

The first link is "How to add a web browser to your form". This will demonstrate how to provide browser capabilities inside of a form.

The second link is "How to print a form in Windows Forms". This will show the code to convert the form into an image and additionally (if you want to add the feature for the users) allow the image to be printed or sent to print preview.

Hopefully this will provide the functionality you are looking for.
