Solution 1

Try:

using (Bitmap b = new Bitmap(requiredWidth, requiredHeight))
    {
    using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(b))
        {
        g.CopyFromScreen(sourcePoint, new Point(0,0), new Size(requiredWidth, requiredHeight));
        }
    b.Save(filePath, ImageFormat.Bmp);
    }

what's sourcePoint???

As the name implies: it is the point at which you want to start capturing from the source. Since I don't know where you want to start, I didn't put a point in...
For the top left hand corner of the screen, use:
Point sourcePoint = new Point(0,0);

i want get picture from desktop(full screen)

Then set sourcePoint to the TLHC, and requiredWidth and requiredHeight to the screen width and height...
