HI,

How about the following?

```
 img = UiPath.Core.Image.CreateFromScreen(New Rectangle(0,0,1024,768),Nothing,Nothing,Nothing)

```

Hi,

Thanks for response. The code is worked well.

I need to write a note here about this code.

Sometimes usage of rectangle can be conflicting a library that’s why program can give the error.

NOT : if you get this error code : _ **"rectangle is ambiguous imported from the namespaces or types ‘System.Drawing, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel’ "** _

You can write this =\> img = UiPath.Core.Image.CreateFromScreen(New System.Drawing.Rectangle(0,0,1024,768),Nothing,Nothing,Nothing)

**or short answer =\> Instead of using rectangle, use this _System.Drawing.Rectangle_**

Regards.
