    <p>I want to create a background low-privilege process that captures all my screen activity from my "log on" time to "log off" time of Windows XP. It should:</p> <ul> <li>render a video to some formats like avi, wmv, or any other video format.</li> <li>be "lightweight" (have low overhead) as many other processes would also be running with it</li> <li>output videos with minimal file size </li> </ul> <p>I am aware of <a href="http://camstudio.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CamStudio</a> and the <a href="http://download.cnet.com/Easy-Screen-Capture-Video/3000-13633_4-10288385.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Easy Screen Capture Video</a> program, but I don't need such software. I need a simple function or module in C# .NET so that I can integrate, optimize or customize it as per my needs. Please don't recommend software.</p> <p>I know how to capture a single image as shown here:</p> <pre><code> private static void CaptureScreen() { Size s = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Size; Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(s.Width, s.Height); Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp); g.CopyFromScreen(0, 0, 0, 0, s); bmp.Save("C:\\d.jpg"); //location to save image } </code></pre> <p>but I don't know how to get a video in some avi or different video formats.</p> <p>This isn't for spyware. I just want to monitor all my daily activity once I log on and keep it in video. Then in the future it might be possible to search the recorded sessions.</p> <p>These questions are similar but not what I am looking for:</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/567684/video-capture-sdks-and-frameworks-for-windows">Video capture SDKs and Frameworks for Windows</a></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/542693/alternatives-to-directshow-for-video-capture-on-windows">Alternatives to DirectShow for video capture on Windows</a></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4068414/how-to-capture-screen-to-be-video-using-c-net">How to capture screen to be video using C# .Net?</a></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/397754/record-video-of-screen-using-net-technologies">Record Video of Screen using .NET technologies</a></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3359789/video-capturing-uploading-processing-streaming-back-net-c">Video Capturing + Uploading + Processing + Streaming back - .NET &amp; C#</a></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
