'' This sample shows how to render a web page specified by a URL
'' to an image (here we render the Google home page) using DsHtml.
''
'' DsHtml natively supports only two image formats - JPEG and PNG.
'' For these formats, we directly use the GcHtmlRenderer class
'' to render the page to a temporary image file, which is then
'' copied to the output stream.
''
'' Other image formats (BMP, GIF, TIFF) require rendering HTML
'' to a temporary GcBitmap, and saving that to the target format.
''
'' Please see notes in comments at the top of HelloWorldHtml
'' sample code for details on adding DsHtml to your projects.
