I haven't used any third party libraries but instead always used built in Windows APIs. I've used Video for Windows (VFW)[^] in the past and currently use DirectShow[^]. For Vista and later (although it originally came out in XP) there's also Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)[^].

Do a search on ".NET webcam" and you'll find lots of .NET wrappers using these APIs.
