SUMMARY

To capture images from a webcam using C#, developers can utilize the AForge.NET framework, which provides a straightforward approach compared to DirectShow.NET and WIA. AForge.NET simplifies the process of selecting between multiple webcams and capturing images programmatically. The discussion highlights the limitations of WIA support and the complexity of DirectShow.NET, advocating for AForge.NET as a more user-friendly alternative.

I want to capture image from webcam using c# and i have 2 webcam so i need an option to select which webcam i interested in.
I read at the websites that we can use directshow.net or wia but my webcam doesn't support wia and directshow.net is a bit messy.

Is there other more simple way to capture image programmatically using c#?
