Is it possible to control a Canon or Nikon using vb.net?

[adrian1906]

Both Nikon and Canon offer SDKs to communicate with their cameras. I do not have any experience working with SDKs and am writing to first see if it is possible to use VB.net. If so, is it straight forward?

Any guidance is appreciated.

Yes, it is almost certainly possible, but it may not be easy. After all, at worst you'd create a library that would wrap the calls to the SDK, then call that library from .NET. Of course, that could mean that the library is NOT written in .NET.

Here's such a wrapper for canon:
