    public Thumbnail(string Url, int BrowserWidth, int BrowserHeight, int ThumbnailWidth, int ThumbnailHeight)
    {
        this.Url = Url;
        this.BrowserWidth = BrowserWidth;
        this.BrowserHeight = BrowserHeight;
        this.Height = ThumbnailHeight;
        this.Width = ThumbnailWidth;
    }
    public Bitmap GenerateThumbnail()
    {
        Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(GenerateThumbnailInteral));
        thread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
        thread.Start();
        thread.Join();
        return ThumbnailImage;
