如何使用C＃从笔记本电脑的摄像头捕获视频

Question

I'm new to C# and I'm trying to capture video from my laptop's camera using C#. I found some info at MSDN VideoCaptureDevices and CaptureSource . Also I added windowsbase.dll into my references. The above class and methods I'm not able to use.

How can the above classes be used without using Silverlight concepts?

Answer 1

windowsbase.dll is part of Windows Presentation Foundation (which has a lot of overlap with Silverlight). To use types from windowsbase.dll you'll need a WPF application (with all the learning curve if you don't know any WPF).

If you want a GUI application then WPF is a good approach.

(Otherwise: please update the question with more context.)

Answer 2

Outside of Silverlight, the Microsoft Expression Encoder SDK might do the job. In fact it has another API to communicate to devices.
