You will most likely need to find an API for your webcam that allows you to capture the images.
Or buy one that does have an available programmers API. 
Don't forget to look into licensing if you plan to distribute an application.

if you want to capture image from webcam in .net, you have to use Windows Image Acquisition (WIA). There is an article in the link below that explain how to do it with WIA.

Also, when you get your image in pictureBox, use save method from picturebox.image

PictureBox1.Image.Save(Filename, imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)
