how to save images with metricam in c# console application

Question

I am using this code to get images from my webcam, I guess its Metricam library

Anyone knows how to get images without using picturebox?

WebCam camera = new WebCam();
camera.Connect();
pictureBox1.Image = camera.GetBitmap();
pictureBox1.Image.Save(@"c:\image1 " + ".Jpeg", ImageFormat.Jpeg);

Thanks bro :) I really appreciate your quick response on this. God bless you — Curtis Hagen, Apr 05 '14 at 02:35

pictureBox1.Image is Image type. It can handle saving on its own. It does handle saving when used from PictureBox too, notice how you call Save() method on Image property and not on pictureBox instance.

WebCam camera = new WebCam();
camera.Connect();
Image image = camera.GetBitmap();
image.Save(@"c:\image1 " + ".Jpeg", ImageFormat.Jpeg);

This doesn't work. Gives me 6 errors. First on var, Second is "mismatch between processor architecture being built MSIL", Metricam.IProvidersBitmapOutPut is defined in assembly that is not referenced – Curtis Hagen Apr 05 '14 at 00:58
But it works in winform? Describe your environment please. (OS, hardware, .net version, build target) – Anri Apr 05 '14 at 01:38
`defined in assembly that is not referenced` well, add reference to metricam dll. As of `var`, if you use older .net it will not work, i will update code to support older c# – Anri Apr 05 '14 at 01:40
somehow fixed it with your help. You made me confident to debug it :) – Curtis Hagen Apr 05 '14 at 02:15
my OS is win8pro, Intel Core I7, .Net 4.50. – Curtis Hagen Apr 05 '14 at 02:16
Meanwhile I also tried AForge Webcam, I found it a bit faster as compared to this MetriCam – Curtis Hagen Apr 05 '14 at 02:17
