Looking for a camera capture tool

Hello,

We have a vb.net application we are using for our field inspectors. We
want to integrate a camera capturing tool into the application. Does anyone
have any suggestions? The idea is that the camera is attached to the tablet
(running windows 2k) on the tablet they can view and take pictures and those
files will be stored on the hard drive of the tablet. We have different
types of cameras but can work on switching to a specifc brand if need be.
Thanks in advance.

Look for a camera that comes with Active-X component software that provides
capturing. This can then be easily integrated with a .net application.

If the camera(s) are DirectX compatable, you could use the magaged DirectX
libraries.

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.
