I'm trying to write a simple program that will detect a face off a webcam and then trigger an event(optionally take a snapshot of the face)

I don't need anything fancy like to compare it to other faces I just need to send out an email that someone is at the door (hopefully with attached photo)

the problem is im very confused about how and what to use

I see there is a very powerful "opencv" that has a few wrapper classes namely opencv.net and emgu.cv

I've seen a few examples here and there but i have yet to find a working set of source code that works with VS2010 c#

Can anyone recommend what the best course of action for a amateur programmer like me.

thanks

I can suggest to use emgucv, as it comes with an example that works on vs2010 and show you how to do face detection. once you have detected your face you can easily crop your detected face, setting ROI properly.
