Hi Michael, thanks for your reply.

Also, it's a little awkward to ask what's the best way to do something in a certain technology (C# 2.0, which is just the compiler but I assume you mean to imply .NET 2.0 also), and then offer as the two options for "best" a couple of technologies that have nothing to do with the certain technology. All that said, I'm not aware of any built-in support in .NET for video capture. The current Windows API is DirectShow which, oddly enough, is not in DirectX anymore. It's in the Platform SDK and replaces ActiveMovie/VFW. Do a Google search for ".net directshow" and you'll come across an open source project meant to make interop with DirectShow in a .NET program much easier. I haven't used it myself, but it's been around few a few years now and I'd guess it would help a lot.

I'm not sure if there's a managed interface available but you can get third party solutions or sample on the internet. It's not that simple. Alternatively VFW is a LOT simpler but doesn't have as much support or functionality. > Thanks >> Hi! >> Which is the best way to webcam video capture with C# 2.0 and vs 2005?
