The BitBlt function performs a bit-block transfer of the color data corresponding to a rectangle of pixels from the specified source device context into a destination device context.

C# Signature:

[DllImport("gdi32.dll")]
static extern bool BitBlt(IntPtr hdc, int nXDest, int nYDest, int nWidth,
   int nHeight, IntPtr hdcSrc, int nXSrc, int nYSrc, uint dwRop);

The last argument uint dwRop can also be replaced with a TernaryRasterOperations arg:

[DllImport("gdi32.dll", ExactSpelling=true, SetLastError=true)]

public static extern bool BitBlt(IntPtr hObject, int nXDest, int nYDest, int nWidth,

    int nHeight, IntPtr hObjSource, int nXSrc, int nYSrc, TernaryRasterOperations dwRop);

public enum TernaryRasterOperations

{

    SRCCOPY     = 0x00CC0020, /* dest = source*/
    SRCPAINT    = 0x00EE0086, /* dest = source OR dest*/
    SRCAND      = 0x008800C6, /* dest = source AND dest*/
    SRCINVERT   = 0x00660046, /* dest = source XOR dest*/
    SRCERASE    = 0x00440328, /* dest = source AND (NOT dest )*/
    NOTSRCCOPY  = 0x00330008, /* dest = (NOT source)*/
    NOTSRCERASE = 0x001100A6, /* dest = (NOT src) AND (NOT dest) */
    MERGECOPY   = 0x00C000CA, /* dest = (source AND pattern)*/
    MERGEPAINT  = 0x00BB0226, /* dest = (NOT source) OR dest*/
    PATCOPY     = 0x00F00021, /* dest = pattern*/
    PATPAINT    = 0x00FB0A09, /* dest = DPSnoo*/
    PATINVERT   = 0x005A0049, /* dest = pattern XOR dest*/
    DSTINVERT   = 0x00550009, /* dest = (NOT dest)*/
    BLACKNESS   = 0x00000042, /* dest = BLACK*/
    WHITENESS   = 0x00FF0062, /* dest = WHITE*/
