webcam directly to bitmap (no GUI, console application)

G'day,

I'm looking for a way to save a webcam frame image to a bitmap. I don't
want to go via a PictureBox like many examples I've found on the net,
because I will have no forms, or GUI (console app).

The reason I'm looking to do this is so I can take a picture at intervals
and save them to the computer (like time lapse). If at all possible it
would be good if I can print a time stamp on the image too before saving on
the computer. I know this is all easy enough using a PictureBox (there are
many examples of this on the net), but this must all be done in a console
application.

Is this possible? I'm fairy inexperienced with this kind of hardware
manipulation, so any source code would be very appreciated!

Many thanks,
Dazza.

Hi Is it possible to mask console input in a c# console application? What I mean is: if I entered string "test" in the console, it'll echo "****"(or nothing) instead of the string "test". I've tried setting the foregroud color of the console the same as the backgroud color through native API, but it doesn't really hide the password, actually, users can manually change the foregroud color in a windows console window, or they can copy the...

Hi, can I detect whether my class is running within the context of a Console application, vs say a WinForm's application ? also does anyone know whether the compiler or runtime is smart enough to avoid the overhead of writing to the console if it is not visible, eg I am running inside a WinForm application. thanks

I am writing a small console application that runs fine unless I am re- directing the output to a file (i.e. c:\ app.exe >>output.txt) . I have determined that the issue is caused by the Console.Clear() function. When piping to a file, the console.clear causes the following error: Unhandled Exception: System.IO.IOException: The handle is invalid. at System.IO.IO__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
