Hi all!

My task is to add camera into our system with livevideo, snapshot and recordvideo functionalities. Our system runs on windows 7 and we are using C# with .NET4 framework. UI is based on WPF. Type of camera interface varies, it could be usb or cameras own captureboard.

Im quite new .net developer so I like to know is there any media/camera classes in .net framework. Please tell me that I dont have to use directshow because I find it extremely trivial and using unmanaged code could lead problems, right?

Looking to hear your thoughts and tips :)

Cheers!

Thanks for the tips! Those links gave me idea to try Microsoft Media Foundation. Maybe that will help with my challenges. :)
