I need a WebCam component that is only .net(if it builds on Win API or DirectX its ok) the functions i need are:
Preview
Select Input device
Set Resolution
Get a Image
+3
A:
There are 2 common ways of doing web cam stuff from .net. Using WIA or avicap32.dll. Both are windows API based. You can get some links and guidance here.

WIA is not an option as its not supported by all webcam drivers... and i have failed to find a avicap32 solution that can change the resolution.

WIA is supported by most. The article here (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/Video_Voice_Conferencing.aspx) uses avicap32.dll to do it's video capture. I think you can also do this kind of thing with direct show (see here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/directx/directshownet.aspx). Finally, you could take a look at OpenCV and OpenCVdotNet (http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencv/ and http://code.google.com/p/opencvdotnet/)
