Emailing a form in Visual Basic 2005 Express

I am brand new to programming and was hoping that someone could tell me how
to take the next step in my windows application. I need to be able to email
not just the contents of a form but an image, if you will, of the entire
form. I have a form that my users will fill out and which contains labels as
well as text fields. I have the program configured to email me and that part
is working. I now need to figure out how to get the program to email that
entire form and all of its contents to me. Below is a sample of my code.

Imports System.Net.Mail
Public Class AdmissionsFinancialCounselor

    Private Sub Label12_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Label12.Click
        Dim F2 As New MS4AdmiFinCoun

        F2.ShowDialog()

    End Sub

    Private Sub Label15_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Label15.Click
        Dim F2 As New MisysRad
        F2.ShowDialog()

    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim message As New MailMessage("e***@sutterhealth.org",
"hard***@sutterhealth.org", "Account Request Form", "Account Request Form")
        Dim emailClient As New SmtpClient("dcsh1ex")
        emailClient.Send(message)

        MsgBox("Email Sent!")

    End Sub

    Private Sub AdmissionsFinancialCounselor_Load(ByVal sender As
System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    End Sub
End Class

Someone please help if you know what I'm talking about?

That's an example to do a screen capture.

The next step is to save it to a temporary file, add it as an atatchement,
complete the email process and then remove the temporary file.

Krystal,

You are using the default mail client at the moment. However, you cannot use
attachments on the default may client.

Have a look at this website.
