Accessing capture device for built in webcam

Hi All

I have a VB.net 2005 windows forms application which uses webcam to take
photos of staff members etc for use within the application

All works fine if an external webcam is used

The problem I have is when clients have a laptop with built in webcam

The first time I connect to the capture drivers all works well. If I try to
take a 2nd photo I get the message Capture device does not exist

Any ideas

Regards
Steve

be sure to free up all the resources and references. Sounds like the
capture driver is still blocked from the first attempt.

Hi I am trying to find some code, or reference docs, to assist in helping capture images from an image capture device (ie. webcam etc etc). I want to be able to compare successive images coming from the device, and be able to detect if the image has changed from the previous one. I have found some Java code which does something similar to what I want to do, but I am unsure which classes in the .Net framework are equivalents or of use in...

I need to capture frames from my webcam using a windows service. I've found some sample code on how to use thw VfW API, but I have two major problems: 1. The sample code uses picturebox to preview and grab images. I want to do it in formless windows service, so I need to capture frames without displaying anything. 2. All samples I've found are using Windows Clipboard. They call the API function which grabs as frame and put it in...

Hi, I'm looking for a way of checking whether a specific USB device (a webcam) is plugged in. I have the Vendor and Product ID numbers for the device. I found an article (http://www.vsj.co.uk/articles/display.asp?id=600) with code sample that does the trick for human input devices (mouse, keyboard, ...) but am struggling for my webcam.

I just bought a new Dell, so I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. There is a built-in webcam. Im using the disc provided by Dell (Dell Webcam Software), however during the installation, a pop-up window says to make sure the webcam USB cable is connected to the computer. What does this mean? The webcam is already build-in to the computer? This is preventing the installation of the software. Thank you for you help
