One of my friend have recently been asking me for a C# project to control webcam to capture video & photos. Also if you can capture screenshots or screen video from this application. So I come up with an easy solution from him. I work on this c sharp tutorial. It is in Visual Studio 2010. I've used an image & video processing open source library Aforge.net.
I believe this Aforge’s dll contains the most comprehensive set of features for controlling webcam. It looks like it covers all about Videos & Images through webcam and it also comes with tons of example projects!. The main benefit of this dll is that this is open source & no annoying messages. Aforge.net’s one awesome feature is that you can also set it up for using CCTV cameras in C#. I was able to use this in my project in Visual Studio 2010.
