How to capture image using Webcam in ASP.NET 3.5

Question

Hi,
I would like to capture the image using WebCam and store it in database. I am using ASP.NET 3.5, C#, Visual Studio 2008, SQL Server 2008, Windows Vista Business (O.S), IIS 7.0 and IE 7.0. I want to integrate WebCam functionality in my Web Application. My requirement is, the end user can view the image (i.e., preview from the WebCam)  in the Web page using ActiveX Control (in my case videocapx.ocx is the ActiveX Control). And on clik of "Capture" button, the image has to be capture and stored in database. For this I have installed "VideoCapX" software. I am using "ZEBRONICS" WebCam to capture images. Its model number is "Eagle's eye ZEB-480WC". How can I integrate "videocapx.ocx ActiveX Control" in my web page, so that end user can preview the image. Please help me out. It is very urgent. Thanks inadvnce.

Regards,
VKK Reddy.

Answer 1

Unless someone else around here has worked with that particular ActiveX component it will be hard for you to find help here.

Have you tried their forums and support?

There are .Net examples on that page and there is recent activity in the forums.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
