    Like a virtual webcam?
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.

    I don't see this being possible in VB.Net. To do something like this, you are going to have to write a driver, that the system thinks is a web cam. Drivers are usually written in a low level language, like c or c++.
