Is VB.NET the one?

[andyburrow]

Hi All,

I'm looking to embed a webcam on a website so I can view it live from work.

Would this involve a bit of VB.NET and possibly ASP.NET?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Andy

For starters, ASP.NET will need to use either VB.NET, or C#, or some other language -- VBScript is out.

If you can get your program to work with VB.NET alone, it's a snap to ASP.NET it.

Ok, so if I can write it in VB.NET, I can use ASP.NET to host it?

Essentially, yes.

Dimandja, you are a legend!! That's 'exactly' what I was looking for.

Ok, so once I have created the VB.NET app to show a live stream from a connected web cam, is it really that hard to implement this on a website? Presumably using ASP.NET?

In this case, not at all -- your VB server side code should run fine. Check out the ASP.NET forum for details.
