I try to take a picture from a webcam with WIA 2.0, C#, .net 4.0 on Windows 7. I tried many different samples, but nothing works. I always get this Exception: "ComException was unhandled" Exception from HRESULT: 0x80210015
". The code is WIA_S_NO_DEVICE_AVAILABLE
. I checked, if WIA-Service is running and if the cam shows up in Scanners and Camera. I have no idea whats wrong here! Can anybody help?
Exception is thrown on this line:
Device d = class1.ShowSelectDevice(WiaDeviceType.CameraDeviceType, true, false);:
Here the code
string DeviceID;
const string wiaFormatBMP = "{B96B3CAB-0728-11D3-9D7B-0000F81EF32E}";

Thanks for any help!
This is a typical example of non-documented error from Microsoft... The error code simply means that no device has been found, either not connected or not-WIA recognized.
