Help me! How to write a webcam aplication on ASP.NET????
-
This's my first time in ASP.NET, so there many things new to me :( I'm writing a web aplication using ASP.NET with C#. And i want to capture images from a webcam (or any camera devices) of the client site and display it on web using Microsoft Windows Media SDK (or any things else). How can i do that? It would be great to have some instructions and a demo. Thanks advance :)

that sounds more like a socket application than an asp.net application. asp.net is to write web applications, meaning that they are processed on the server and send to the client in the form of html, xml, javascript and css. Unless you use an active X control (not an easy or good solution) you won't be able to get feed from the client, you cannot include a video stream in an http request which is all you will get from the client in a web application. You will need to install software on the client's machine, either a full windows application or at least an activex control or an IE add in (which is an activeX). Having said that, even in that case it's not going to be easy, because you have to directly interact with hardware, I am not too sure but I believe it's twain api is not even exposed as a win32 api but as a native api.

It would be easy to design a socket application to solve that. But i think what he need is a solution on web absolutely, there's no thing installed on the client. And i wonder that there's any solution for this? How can we capture images from the client side if we know its IP Address? And the way that we display it on web?
