i got this following code for cam

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        'Jpeg compression quality 
        Dim nQuality As Short = 45

        'Shout a picture from my webcam 
        Dim cam As CAMSERVERLib.Camera = New CAMSERVERLib.CameraClass()

        Dim picture As Byte() = CByte(cam.GrabFrame(nQuality))

        'Add the hour to the jpeg picture 
        Dim ms As New MemoryStream(picture)
        Dim bmp As New Bitmap(ms)

        Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)

        Dim strDate As String = DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString() + " - " + DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString()

        Dim drawFormat As New StringFormat()
        drawFormat.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center

        g.DrawString(strDate, New Font(FontFamily.GenericSansSerif, 12), New SolidBrush(Color.Black), New RectangleF(1, 1, 320, 240), drawFormat)

        g.DrawString(strDate, New Font(FontFamily.GenericSansSerif, 12), New SolidBrush(Color.White), New RectangleF(0, 0, 320, 240), drawFormat)

        'Get codecs 
        Dim icf As ImageCodecInfo() = ImageCodecInfo.GetImageEncoders()

        Dim encps As New EncoderParameters(1)
        Dim encp As New EncoderParameter(System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder.Quality, CLng(nQuality))

        'Set quality

the above one is written in the class and the other part is written in the form load

        oWebCam = New WebCamera.Class1()

        oWebCam.OpenConnection()
        oWebCam.Load()
    End Sub
