Get Screen Size on C#
https://pupli.net/2020/03/get-screen-size-on-c/

}
// Save the screenshot as a PNG file
bitmap.Save("screenshot.png");
}

The process is running under DPI virtualization. So we should apply the DPI aware manifest option to stop DPI virtualization

Then
public enum SystemMetric

VirtualScreenHeight = 79, // CYVIRTUALSCREEN 0x0000004F
}
[DllImport("user32.dll")]

var height = GetSystemMetrics(SystemMetric.VirtualScreenHeight);

Simply You can use following methods.
using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
{
client.DownloadFile(new Uri(url), @"c:\temp\image35.png");
//OR
client.DownloadFileAsync(new Uri(url), @"c:\temp\image35.png");
}
If You don’t know the Format(.png, .jpeg etc) of Image
public void SaveImage(string filename, ImageFormat format) {
WebClient client = new WebClient();
Stream stream = client.OpenRead(imageUrl);
Bitmap bitmap; bitmap = new Bitmap(stream);
if (bitmap != null)
bitmap.Save(filename, format);
stream.Flush();
stream.Close();
client.Dispose();
}

Currently the preferred approach. Asynchronous. Ships with .NET 4.5; portable version for other platforms available via NuGet.
using System.Net.Http;
POST
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
var values = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{ "thing1", "hello" },
{ "thing2", "world" }
};
var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(values);
var response = await client.PostAsync("http://www.example.com/recepticle.aspx", content);
var responseString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
}
GET
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
var responseString = client.GetStringAsync("http://www.example.com/recepticle.aspx");
}
