    Hi All,

     

    I am facing problem in porting Directshow library(working on .net) on windows mobile 6.

    I have to use webcam with WM6 emulator. Can anyone help me regarding this.

     

    Thanks in advance for any help regarding the same.

    What problem did you face? Without knowing exactly no-one can help. Smile

     

    In general if you want to port Directshow library from the full .NET to .NET compact, a ot of things needs to be changed. If you're using a C# wrapper, some of the GUIDs for COM components will require modifications. Most likely, the camera GUIDs are different. If you're using C++ you can re-use most of the simple codes, but more advanced functionalities may not be supported.

     

    The Windows Mobile C SDK is sufficient for directshow apps. There is a simple in C++ telling you how to develop simple Directshow apps. C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\Samples\PocketPC\CPP\win32\CameraCapture

     

    At present I know no way of making the emulator interface with a webcam. You'll need a real phone (with build-in camera) to do this.

     

    Finally, I guess a better place to post this question would be at the MSDN Forum for smart device. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/default.aspx?ForumGroupID=11&SiteID=1. I guess this forum is not for programming questions.
