I've done some investigations and unless you develop an activeX control which the user downloads to the client it's not possible to interact with the camera on the client.<br />
<br />
Have you considered a Flash movie, from what I have read it is possible to integrate a camera with Flash Player 6 and above.<br />

A downloadable activex control is acceptable but I do not know how to do this. Flash is not an acceptable solution

I want to be able to capture an image from my camera connected to my computer through a webpage. I can only examples of WIA that I can run as an app on my computer. Can anyone show me how to use WIA on a webpage to capture an image with my camera? <br />
<br />
My ultimate goal is to have it automatically upload the picture I take to my webserver.

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.

Web Development

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
