I googled for this all day and I didnt finf anything

im asking just from curiosity if you could post ur get pics from webcam code?

[^^vampire^^]

I'd also be interested to see your code... i was working on a project a while ago that used webcams and i think getting pictures from the webcam was the biggest nightmare ever.

makko: not sure exactly the most efficient way but i think it would work if you use sockets - tcp or udp - and then send the picture to the other computer by converting the picture into a byte array, sending it to the other computer and reconstructing it as a picture on the other side.

well ... I only googled for the code and after some searches I got http://www.webtropy.com/articles/art7-2.asp

It's working good for me ... the only disadvantage is the 320x240 resolution

If anyone can enlarge that resolution from that code please post the changes here too

Anyway I saw a better code here on vbforums ... but it seems more advanced and complicated for what I need


oh yeah ... as for sending images ... I got from vbforums too an app that sends images from an Ip to another ... after I put my hands in it will send webcam images from my cam...

I don't know why you keep referring to the icam class as Advanced. It couldn't be any more simple, infact compared to the code above its a walk in the park. See the link below for an interface to the web cam code. it uses the exact same method as above but hides all the api.
