Access webcam and microphone input in VB.net

Question

How can you access the webcam and microphone in VB.net, assuming the user even has one?

I fail to see a My.Computer.Webcam or My.Computer.Microphone, both of which would probably have been a nice addition.

Thanks for the help! If there is no easy method for doing this, what is the name of the driver that handles this and what methods should I use to make this work?

Cyclone, you can use DirectShow .Net Library to access the webcam and microphone here a example

• Webcam using DirectShow.NET (Vb .Net)
