I worked for me, although make sure you read the comments at the bottom of
the page, because there was a bug in the source code. I've put the post
about the bug here to save you the trouble....

Correction to sample code DavidDavison 4:20 2 Nov '03
I suggest a correction to the NetMaster's code.
foreach( object wiaObj in wiaDevs )
{
devInfo = (DeviceInfoClass)
Marshal.CreateWrapperOfType( wiaObj, typeof(DeviceInfoClass) );
//Marshal.ReleaseComObject( wiaObj ); <- MOVE THIS
if( devInfo.Type.IndexOf( "Video" ) > 0 )
{
foundID = devInfo.Id;
foundCount++;
}
Marshal.ReleaseComObject( wiaObj ); // <- TO HERE
Marshal.ReleaseComObject( devInfo ); devInfo = null;
}
I have found that the devInfo you have just
marshalled is released before you can use it to check the type.
Other than that, Nice one NetMaster!

Hey John,
I was trying to use the WIA Device class for video capture, and the correction that you've suggested saved me time. Thank you.
However, the program is not able to detect my Creative Lab webcam and one other USB 2.0 webcam as WIA devices. Its able to detec a hp scanner as a source for images, but, not the webcams.
Is this a limitation of the WIA script, or am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks in advance.
Ravi.

I honestly could not say because I am a complete beginner to WIA as well.
I do remember somewhere that some camera drivers dont seem to work with WIA.
The only other way would be to use TWAIN, which is on the CodeProject site
as well. Although I haven't tried TWAIN yet.
Good luck, and let the group know how you get on...

John,
I was wondering if you tried to use this code in a batch program? The
supplied code requires a user to be present to click the capture button, I
want to put something on a schedule and run unattended.
Thanks
