Capture Image from Camera
Hi, I would like to develop an application that will take pictures with a camera. From googling around I've seen some things about WIA, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any good tutorials to get me started.
I'm trying to keep it simple for now. Pretty much what I would like to do is have a button on a form and when the user clicks the button the camera takes the picture and saves it to the hard drive on the computer.

You may want to look into twain samples

Thank you for the reply. I looked into it a little bit and it seems like TWAIN is geared more towards scanners, but I will do more research on it. Please keep in mind it does not have to be a WIA solution, if there is a better method for completing this task, fire away, I'm open to all suggestions. As long as it's not a 3rd party thing where I have to pay. I'm on a very small budget...
Thanks
Re: Capture Image from Camera
I did a project a while back where I had to capture images from a camera I used a twain interface to do this. One of the options I noticed and tested along the way was to snap a picture. It worked fine and was not that hard to do.

Very cool, I'll test it out and let you know how it works out.
By any chance do you know if this stuff works with newer digital cameras? I need something with a little higher resolution like 8 Megapixels or more.

It should work with most of them. I was using it with a 10mp cannon

i think twain techonology is working well when you are capturing image c#. it is simple, i happen to have some tutorials and codes on this one.
