You have to understand the basics of DirectShow. Read Dean Rowe's Weblog. Read this article. Download graphedit and run the register.bat first before using it. Download DirectShow.NET Please do these things first: Add a reference to DirectShowLib-2005.dll to the project (sometimes it cannot find it). Turn off Enable Application Framework and choose Directshow.Samples.Form1 as the startup object. Be sure to have NET 2.0 installed. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/audio-video/WebcamUsingDirectShowNET.aspx http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/topic/61783-capture-webcam/ http://www.devx.com/dotnet/Article/30375
