Solution 1

You have everything to do that. Instead of My.Computer.Screen.Bounds use some greater values of sourceX and sourceY which will define offsets from the top and left bounds of the screen and reduce size to required size. In this way, you will copy a smaller source rectangle representing a subset of the screen pixels.

can you give me some sample coding for this, or you can edit my coding and show me some example

You already have this code. Just use the different parameters in CopyFromScreen:
CopyFromScreen(
My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.X + myRectangle.Left,
My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Y + myRectangle.Top,
0, 0,
myRectangle.Size,
CopyPixelOperation.SourceCopy);

If myRectangle is smaller than Screen it will be a part of the screen, that's it.
