Hi,

I am in need of .NET code that I can use with Visual Studio 2005 that
will allow me:

1) to open a USB camera installed on a computer (Windows XP), 
2) take one or more pictures of what the camera is focused on (& save
to file); some generally acceptable format: JPEG, GIF, TIFF, etc...
3) close the camera

The simplier the code the better.

Something like this?

Compiled in VS2005.

You can change the file type easily on line 238 of mainform.cs
ImageFormat.<type> and the sd.filter up above it to the same type.
