Thanks for this post!!

I’ve been trying to do it by myself but when application shows the camera interface… application debug stops… and completed event never raises (I think so… I can’t debug it…).

Do you know why could this be???

Thanks in advance!!

Nuno,

In the latest version of the tools, the signature of the event has changed. You must now use:

var t = new CameraCaptureTask();
t.Completed += new EventHandler (t_Completed);

void t_Completed(object sender, PhotoResult e)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}

Hope it helps

Hi Cedric,

I have the beta tools, and tried the code.
However I am getting the following error:

No overload for ‘cameraTask_Completed’ matches delegate ‘System.EventHandler’

Can you help me?

Thanks
Nuno

After updating my graphic card drivers I saw some extra buttons but none of them takes a picture.

Thanks, good post!
I downloaded beta tools on vista and i have the same problem with camera. I see a black screen and the icon that is also seen on the first screenshot (top left, a sitting dog i guess)
Will post if i find a solution

btw here is code for beta tools

private CameraCaptureTask cameraTask;
// Constructor
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
cameraTask = new CameraCaptureTask();
cameraTask.Completed += new EventHandler(cameraTask_Completed);
}

void cameraTask_Completed(object sender, PhotoResult e)
{
var photoStream = e.ChosenPhoto;

var bitmapImage = new BitmapImage();
bitmapImage.SetSource(photoStream);

this.image.Source = bitmapImage;
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs ee)
{
cameraTask.Show();
}

Jeremy,

Thank you. I got the black screen on vista, and I will try it on OS 7 later.
