    Dear Alex:

    Thanks for your great code.
    Could I save picture without key the file name and press save button.
    It mean I want to auto save a default file name?
    or
    Could I use any method to do keyin and press action automatically?
    Could you suggest me any idea ?
    I am appreciately it.

    @Alex
    Hi Alex, could you please guide me how to fix this kind of error as I downloaded the sample, open in VS, compile and run. When I clicked Start button, this error occurs.

    Thanks

    “Hi
    While trying to run one of the samples, AMCameraExExample, on my device I’m getting an “Can’t find PInvoke DLL ‘AMCameraEx.Native.dll’ error. If I try reference this dll(the one provided in folder) I get “A reference to ‘AMCameraEx.Native.dll’ cannot be added. Please help, what am I doing wrong?”

    Thanks for the information…wow, I didn’t know all the applications need to go through the marketplace. I have been doing some research and it seems there is a way of unlocking the applications so they don’t need to go through the marketplace.
    Here is the link:
    http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=851453
    However, I don’t know if that’s a good solution and customers will want to do that.

    Do you know if there is a way of accessing the camera using XNA or Silverlight?

    Thanks

    2Luis,
    first of all Windows Phone 7 does not support DirectShow anymore,
    but I got solution for phone 7 (i work directly with driver), but the problem that Microsoft deprecate even PInvoke in user application and say that all applications that use PInvoke will be deleted from their store so I dont even try to publish my solution
