A:
Modern web cameras would supports WIA and DirectShow. WIA has a scripting interface which is more friendly to C#, however it is designed for cameras and scanners and is not that fast for streaming. But if you just need to push the image to a server, you don't need to write code, kist use Windows Media Encoder to push to a Windows Media Server's publishing point. You can then get image from the server's publishing point using DirectShow or Windows Media Format SDK. None of these are easy in C# though, you are better off using COM class libraries like ATL for extensive COM programming like this.

If you really want to write this in C#, I've had a lot of success with Egmu.
Capturing images is very straightforward - see this question. After that, it'd be FTP to the server as usual.
I'm curious about Sheng Jiang's Media Encoder solution though. Let me know how you get on.
