Possible to make a button that opens up your built in webcam?

Hey guys,
Im making a program that will be used by graffiti collectors. There will need to be an import picture button l which will import a picture from your selected drive, and there will also be a take picture button, which i am having trouble with.

Any help would be appreciated.

You simply need to know the process that triggers the webcam. then u use the process.start method to open the webcam then pictures are saved to a default location with a defined name. then you can load the image to a picturebox
