    webcam directly to bitmap (no GUI, console application)

    G'day,

    I'm looking for a way to save a webcam frame image to a bitmap. I don't
    want to go via a PictureBox like many examples I've found on the net,
    because I will have no forms, or GUI (console app).

    The reason I'm looking to do this is so I can take a picture at intervals
    and save them to the computer (like time lapse). If at all possible it
    would be good if I can print a time stamp on the image too before saving on
    the computer. I know this is all easy enough using a PictureBox (there are
    many examples of this on the net), but this must all be done in a console
    application.

    Is this possible? I'm fairy inexperienced with this kind of hardware
    manipulation, so any source code would be very appreciated!

    Many thanks,
    Dazza.

Working...
