Using "DirectShow" with C# in the Compact Framework along with WM6

Hello all,
I am trying to develop an application using C# and .NetCF on Windows Mobile
6. I need to use the "DirectShow" api in order to preview video and take a
still shot with the built-in camera. I have tried using the built-in camera
dialog that comes with WM6 but it is limited and does not do some of the
things that I need.

Can anyone point me in the right direction or offer me some sample C# .NetCF
code that will help out?

Thanks in advance,
 
Thanks for the reply.

What I would REALLY like to do is use the built-in camera dialog control if
it is at all possible. I want to be able to get a full-screen preview window
that will allow me to take a picture and then return control to my app. I
don't want the camera dialog control to display ANY of its menu bars. Is
there a way to do this?

I'm afraid your only option is native code, and if you check out the WM5/6
SDK sample "CameraCapture" (...Samples\PocketPC\CPP\WIN32\CameraCapture) you
get the picture ;-)
 
Yep!

I looked at that example and I cannot seem to get it to take a picture.
Sometimes it will and sometimes it won't. Also there is no preview.

I can open this project in VS2005, right?
