how to activate camera

http://windowsmobilepro.blogspot.com/2006/04/using-camera-api-with-only-embedded.html

i visited this already, FYI

i am using, VS 2005, VB

Microsoft is working on one now. But there is no "Official" one now.

how this works out it Windows Mobile 5, can change my device if needed.

With the Windows Mobile 5.0 software a generic camera API is now defined that device manufacturers support. The .NET Compact Framework, Windows Mobile 5.0 software includes a ready-made dialog named CameraCaptureDialog available in , and you can find it in the "Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Forms".

An indicative sample code is given below

private void photoMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  CameraCaptureDialog cameraCaptureDialog = new CameraCaptureDialog();
  cameraCaptureDialog.Owner = this;
  cameraCaptureDialog.Title = "Take Exhibit Photo";
  cameraCaptureDialog.Mode = CameraCaptureMode.Still;
  if(cameraCaptureDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK &&
    cameraCaptureDialog.FileName.Length > 0)
  {
    fileExtension = Path.GetExtension(cameraCaptureDialog.FileName);
    File.Copy(cameraCaptureDialog.FileName, fileName());
    pictureBox.Image = new Bitmap(fileName());
  }
}

The above is a C# code but can be converted fairly easily to VB.NET. Let me know if you need any help.

seems easy, would help me alot if you could convert this... thank you.

Excellent!
