Simulates the PrintScreen Key - SendKeys implemented in Windows Scripting and Basic languages cannot send PrintScreen key, this program allows the PrintScreen key to be simulated.

This uses the inbuilt compilers in Windows 10 - there are three VB.NET compilers and three C# compilers - just copy each text file into the same folder and double click the batch file to make the program.
