WebCamera #2

The WebCamera class make use of an API32 Wrapper Class which contains all the API calls and constants.
 
 
WARNING: You MUST keep the instance, otherwise it will be GC and the API32 calls will fail to callback)
 
How to use syntax:
 
Decleration and instance of WebCamera.

WebCamera wc = new WebCamera(this.Handle, this.Width, this.Height);


Handle the ReceivedFrame Event

wc.RecievedFrame+=new WebCamera.RecievedFrameEventHandler(wc_RecievedFrame);

void wc_RecievedFrame(object o , WebCameraEventArgs e)

{

     //throw new NotImplementedException();

}
