    I'm struggeling with MediaCapture to capture Photo's.

    I can take a photo, but can't set the maximum resolution and the desired camera.

    I found this code:

    private static async Task<DeviceInformation> GetCameraID(Windows.Devices.Enumeration.Panel desiredCamera)
{
    // get available devices for capturing pictures
    DeviceInformation deviceID = (await DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync(DeviceClass.VideoCapture))
        .FirstOrDefault(x => x.EnclosureLocation != null && x.EnclosureLocation.Panel == desiredCamera);
 
    if (deviceID != null) return deviceID;
    else throw new Exception(string.Format("Camera of type {0} doesn't exist.", desiredCamera));
}
 
async private void InitCameraBtn_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    var cameraID = await GetCameraID(Windows.Devices.Enumeration.Panel.Back);
    captureManager = new MediaCapture();
 
    await captureManager.InitializeAsync(new MediaCaptureInitializationSettings
        {
            StreamingCaptureMode = StreamingCaptureMode.Video,
            PhotoCaptureSource = PhotoCaptureSource.VideoPreview,
            AudioDeviceId = string.Empty,
            VideoDeviceId = cameraID.Id
        });
 
    var maxResolution = captureManager.VideoDeviceController.GetAvailableMediaStreamProperties(MediaStreamType.Photo).Aggregate((i1, i2) => (i1 as VideoEncodingProperties).Width > (i2 as VideoEncodingProperties).Width ? i1 : i2);
    await captureManager.VideoDeviceController.SetMediaStreamPropertiesAsync(MediaStreamType.Photo, maxResolution);
}

    In this code Visual Studio underlines .FirstOrDefault and .Aggregate

    When I visit MSDN, it looks like the mentioned .FirstOrDefault and .Aggregate are for Javascript only and not for c#. Is that correct? And so, how do I get the code working in c#?

    Hello,

    I would recommend that you simplify the code greatly. Here is some pseudo code that might help:

    DeviceInformationCollection dic = await DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync

foreach(DeviceInformation di in dic)
    if(di.EnclosureLocation != null && di.EnclosureLocation.Panel == desiredCamera;

    Something like that should work.

    I hope this helps,
