AFAIK, you need to get an SDK from the company that makes your camera.

Isn't is possible with windows? Can't I connect to the device?

You need to talk to the company that makes your camera. There really isn't
a standard yet for talking to these devices.

Hallo Nijazi!

I have installed a USB-Cam on my system and would like to get a pic from
the usb-cam in VB.NET?

Maybe this is possible by using WIA:

WIA (Windows XP)

You could use a third party library to handle twain devices. In my VB.NET
app, I got a copy of TwainPro. It works well.

Hi,

If you mean a webcam one of these should help.

WIA is definitely a winner (it's what I use) but there are some
limitations - you need to have Win2K/XP and you have to have a camera
that has a WIA driver. Most of the newer web cams should be OK, but
older cameras require TWAIN usage.
