How to access web camera settings (like in Skype) using DotNet
I found another question "How to access web camera settings (like in Skype) using DotNet" but it is very old with no answer. I have pretty much the same question.
I am developing a app using SkypeKit and to make it more complete to the user I would like to be able to tap into the webcam/audio/mic settings.
Is there an easy way using C# or skypekit ? & any advice.
Thanks.

You can use DirectShow or a .Net wrapper for it such as DirectShow.Net.
Here are some projects that can help you going:

I've been trying to dig around a simple way to distribute this simple application I've created. I want things simple: a simple self-contained installer. Not to say that it cannot be put on the MS-Store, but I want alternative ways to distribute it simply to my clients.
I've create a package, but you need to enable the developers options to run it elsewhere.... And all the other solutions are either VERY costly or require a 3 year degree to understand them. And of course, the documentation on the internet is dominated by Microsoft who push their own solution, i.e. the Store.
I would be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction please.

I am building a database of images and would like to automate the process. I am somewhat familiar with HTML, and my core program is built in C#. What would be a good library to use that could help me download a page as HTML, and grab the URL links on the page to the desired image? I am familiar with how to download images from URL already, so that does not need to be addressed.
(Library or other language. The database building and the program do not need to be combined.)
You wanted to build a crawler or website spider which will grab the stuff from websites. There is a parsing library called HtmlAgilityPack which will help you to do that very easily. This post will tell you how to use this library.
Hope it helps!

It is Crucial in Forms because it is for my school project..
If there isnt something like that is it possible to create such an effect?
AForge is a very easy to use library that can easily make use of a webcam in WinForms. I designed a small app for taking pictures with medical tablets last year and the whole executable weighed less than 1Mb, with the AForge library being the bulk of that.

Check the sample applications that it comes with, there is one premade that has all the code you'll need. It's also a cool library to play with by itself.

Use System.Diagnostics in windows store application [duplicate]

Now I want to know is there any possible way so that I can use this function in windows store application?
Thanks in advance
I would think that they are not going to work. Looking at MSDN, it contains all the entities in the System.Diagnostics namespace that are available to Windows Store applications. If the method/class is not listed in this, then you can't use it. I would expect the code to not even be present in the framework that is used by these apps to prevent using them via introspection.
It's most likely that even if you could invoke the methods, you would find that they would fail due to security blocks that have been put in place to prevent Windows Store apps from interacting with the desktop.

Not really much to go on is there...
I am assuming you want a user to be able to record video in your app. This is not possible without a plugin on the user's machine, like Flash, because it means accessing hardware on the client machine. Flash has this built in and will ask for it to be allowed to access the user's webcam.
You might want to bwe a bit more clear with your question though...
Use Microsoft Expression Encoder for broadcast, and simple Silverlight of Flash control for presentation on a client side.
