Developing an app using the camera on a Windows Mobile 2003 SE dev

[Guest]

Hi,

I wish to access the inbuild camera on my Smartphone (Windows Mobile 2003 SE
based device) in my application build using .NET compact framework.
Any pointers of how I can do this would be of great help.
Thanking in advance.

Regards,
Rakesh

It's a lot! easier in Windows Mobile 5.0.

But in Windows Mobile 2003 SE you'll either have to buy something or write
something.

Bistia - Camera Wrapper .NET CF custom control for .NET Compact Framework

Sometimes depending on the OEM and the camera, there may already be a
control you can use. Usually you can at least get documentation, sometimes
maybe even sample code, but you may have to contact the vendor.

Hope it helps,

Thanks Chris.
For now I guess I can go ahead with WM5 since we are only targeting Orange
SPV C600 for now.
