Use the Control.DrawToBitmap() method. For example:

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
        using (var bmp = new Bitmap(panel1.Width, panel1.Height)) {
            panel1.DrawToBitmap(bmp, new Rectangle(0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height));
            bmp.Save(@"c:\temp\test.png");
        }
    }
