capture image from camera

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows of an easy way to capture an image from
a digital camera and put it into a picturebox. I need to be able to view the
video feed and click a capture button that takes a snapshot of what is
showing at the time. Any ideas? I have a capture card also, if that helps.
Thanks.

Hi,

If you have windows xp this might help.

You need to go to the camera's manufacturer site and see if they
have sdk. Here are a few links.

Is the camera connected via USB? I spent 'months' researching Human Interface
Device (HID) information. If the original digital camera had software then
you could always use their control in your project, but if you plug in
another camera then you'll have to code for that too. I don't envy you at all.

Thanks that is not what I was wanting to hear. I was hopeing there was some
easy way that I didn't know about. Oh well, I guess I have a lot of fun days
ahead. Thanks for the reply.

There's a free solution.
I really don't know where did I get it, but the main DLL for this is
"avicap32.d ll". If you can find it over the web, then you should find also
the implementation in VB6. I have it currently implemented in a VB6
solution, but I'm guessing it shouldn't be very hard to migrate.
If you need more support on this, I'd be glad to help you. Just respond to
bm******@compuc aremexico.com, but if you can find this DLL, maybe there's a
solution build for .NET already, so try that first.

Hi, What is the best way to capture images from a FireWire DCAM camera? Is there any support for the DCAM protocol anywhere for C# on Windows 2000? If I understand it right TWAIN = legacy and not to be used, STI is the old driver model and WIA is the new model but only on XP and later. What are we expected to use to captuire images? Thanks.
