vb and ip cameras

Hello there, I am in need of assistance!! I am researching what it takes to pull hd images and/or video off a samsung snb-5000 ip camera using visual basic 2010 if possible.

This is because i have to integrate with other prexisting vb2010 programs later. I have found heaps of information, spanning the years, versions, different sdk's etc etc. The trouble is trying to find something applicable to vb2010. The camera came with sdk (vis studio 2008) which utilises MFC and Activex, but all instructions are not able to be followed, screens dont match etc... obviously there are big differences between 2008 & 2010.

I am hoping someone out there has experience and can steer me in the right direction with this. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Paul

Welcome to VBForums! I took the liberty of moving your thread to the .NET section. I don't know if I can personally help with this question, but I suggest describing what you tried, and where you got stuck (with screenshots if applicable).

Are you using the API described here?

Yes, this is the correct api, have installed it but started to stumble when creating a project because there was no mfc template there, everything is 2008 and i am not sure where to start.

Tell me what you think?

MFC is a library for C++. You shouldn't need anything to do with that.

I can't access the documentation on that website without a login (which I don't wish to create) so I'm not really sure where to go. What's in the download? I assume it provides at least a DLL or OCX file; if so, you should be able to create a new VB.NET project and add a reference to this file (under Project Properties).

OK... Did you try adding the reference?

Looked in there for anything, assuming because it is installed there would be a reference, but could not find anything obvious.... I am also not very experienced in vb so its hard to know whats next

also tried to add the com reference but it was disallowed, says it was exported from a .net assembly and therefore needs to be added to .net, however there appears to be no option there

Just noticed that it didn't totally fail to load, some bits are there
