Introduction to Article

Let’s play around with the main interrelated concepts of delegates in C#.
Today, in this article, we will dig out and play around by creating a simple delegate program and let’s see how better we can perform in this single program only. I mean, in this program, I will cover all stuff required for delegates from all the possible ways. So I will be covering simple delegate creation, multi-cast delegate, use of named methods, use of anonymous methods, use of lambda expression and finally a much better implementation about all of these and generic delegates as well.

WPF: Webcam Control - CodeProject

Introduction to Article

I have on several occasions scoured the net for a simple to use WPF webcam control and either my search queries were awful or I just wasn't comfortable with whatever I found. This webcam interest was recently increased when I read an article, here on CodeProject, that referred to an application that made use of a webcam. It was a Silverlight article and the ease with which one could utilize a webcam in Silverlight made me envious of WPF's little brother (or is it sister?). The VideoBrush in Silverlight is especially a nice touch.
It is with this pain and envy in mind that I decided to try my hand at creating a WPF control that could;

1. Display webcam video with little coding effort,
2. Allow saving of webcam video to harddisk, with little coding effort,
3. Save the webcam video in a variety of video formats.
