I'm working on a C# window form project . I need to save image into database from USB Camera.I searched on internet for this and I found few APIs,

1- Ozeki Camera SDK for C#
2- Webcam Library for winform and WPF
3- Webcam Capture in C#
4- DirectShow .net
5- WIA
6- Aforge.net
etc
These APIs are good but causing different configuration problems.I don't want to use any third party tool. Is there any simple way to save camera image into database using C# program.
If someone has idea please let me know ,I've been stuck from two days.Thanks in advance.

Some cameras show up as regular devices with a letter and you can easily access the files just like on a regular drive.
Some don't do this, and I don't have a solution for those.

It might; how does the camera show up in Windows Explorer?

It is not showing in my windows explorer but its working and accessible in another example of C# code.
