It all depends on WebCam software you use. If this is something correct, it will either require no disposing (I would say, unlikely), or implement the interface System.IDisposable, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.idisposable.aspx[^].

No Already i have used System.IDisposable but still webcam is not disposed, Is there any other way to dispose webcam object..

If it is not disposed, the component is wrong. However, how do you know it's not disposed? Are you sure you used it correctly?

Come on, search CodeProject article, you will find a number of really good correct solutions.

I am using a third party exe to capture my screen and webcam, after completing the capture the wecam is still on..

Well, the please address to this 3rd party, why asking a question here? If could be anything; and you did not even provide a reference.
And you did not even answer my question, how did you exactly "used" Dispose, and why do you think the camera wasn't disposed. If you think that Dispose should turn of power (or something), explain why. Also explain why would you like to switch camera off and what do you observe...

OK, from your description, it's not apparent that anything is wrong...
