You could use a web service like http://www.websnapr.com/, which has both free and paid models depending on your usage needs.

I'm making the assumption that you're trying to get that URL Thumbnail image that certain blog posts and google provide ?

There isn't actually a method to do exactly what you're asking for because what you need is a web browser to see how a web-page looks.

What normally happens is that an automatic process opens the URL in a browser and takes a screen shot of the window.

Similarly, you can open a Browser control and capture it's window; but I've always been a bit wary of this approach as if there's anything on that URL that demands attention (like a modal popup), it has the potential to lock your thread.

The approach we took was to have a service that was subscribed to, to capture an image and it then managed its own threading and reported urls that gave us trouble.
