Place an Image control in you webpage and set the ImageUrl to the snapshot.aspx page. NOw you can set some querystring options for the page.

snapshot.aspx?site=www.google.come&width=100&height=80&capWidth=800&capHeight=600

site    This tells the page which site to capture
width   width of the thumnail
height  height of the thumbnail
capWidth    What Width should the Site capture be (the thumbnail is based on this size)
capHeight   What Height should the Site capture be.    

And here is the code

    using System;
    using System.Data;
    using System.Configuration;
    using System.Collections;
    using System.Web;
    using System.Web.Security;
    using System.Web.UI;
    using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
    using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
    using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
    using System.Windows.Forms;
    using System.Drawing;
    using System.Drawing.Imaging;
    using System.Threading;

public partial class snapshot : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string url = ((string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.Params["site"])) ? "www.google.com":Request.Params["site"]);
        int width = ((string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.Params["width"])) ? 200 : int.Parse(Request.Params["width"]));
        int height = ((string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.Params["height"])) ? 140 : int.Parse(Request.Params["height"]));
        int capWidth = ((string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.Params["capWidth"])) ? 800 : int.Parse(Request.Params["capWidth"]));
        int capHeight = ((string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.Params["capHeight"])) ? 600 : int.Parse(Request.Params["capHeight"]));

        string address = "http://" + url;
        Bitmap thumbnail = WebsiteThumbnailImageGenerator.GetWebSiteThumbnail(address, capWidth, capHeight, width, height);

        Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
        thumbnail.Save (Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Jpeg); 
    }
}

public class WebsiteThumbnailImageGenerator
