The Page Content will be process in browser and browser is in client side so you dont now how it seems in server side ,in server side we just have html and scripts ... so the link ddrace gave may be usefull, or you can develope a windows App and put a webbrowser on it and load your page in the browser and save the image of browser to the server

You're going to have to use a piece of middleware to do this. I have used this one in the past: http://www.winnovative-software.com/Html-To-Pdf-Converter.aspx . I know it says "to PDF", but one of it's features is that it can render the result to an image and save it in various image formats.
In your web application, have the middleware components bring the web-page down that has your control etc on it, and save it as an image on the server.
