Hi all,

I need to create a public booth where people can look at themselves in a
webcam and snap a picture which will be seen on a webpage. The backend is
easy, it's the webcam part that I have problems with...

Could you recommend the best way to capture a Webcam picture from .NET?
Do I need device specific drivers or is there a standardized way to do it?
Any recommended brand of Webcam?

All samples I've found are using Windows Clipboard. They call the API function which grabs as frame and put it in...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
