I am new to vb.net and I am relatively new to programming in general. I am creating a windows form project in vb.net which uses a webcam to take a photo of a person. The photo is subsequently saved to a database. I won't have any problem saving it to the database but I haven't a clue where to start with using a webcam with vb.net. I know this question has been asked before and I have been doing a lot of looking around the internet for a solution I can understand but I am finding this very difficult. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I was given the following link on 'Code Project' that solved my problem. Link: http://easywebcam.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest#EasyWebCam/WinFormVBWebCam/Form1.vb

  • This is not a good fit for the StackOverflow Q&A: for instance, see [this link](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/8231/are-answers-that-just-contain-links-elsewhere-really-good-answers) for more information. The summary: answers should contain at least some actual information, and should not be link-only. – MicroVirus Aug 14 '14 at 17:16

A more complex library than EasyWebCam that can do great things with webcams is AForge.NET. If you find yourself having a need for more advanced features, such as zoom control, I'd recommend checking it out. http://www.aforgenet.com/framework/
