<p>I'm working on a home project that involves comparing images to a database of images (using a quadrant - or so - histogram approach).  I wanted to know what my options are in regards to web cams or other image capture devices that:</p>

<ul>
<li>Are easy to work with with the
Windows SDK (particularly
<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms783323(VS.85).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">DirectShow</a>, which I plan to use
with C#) </li>
<li>Have drivers for both
64-bit and 32-bit Windows Vista (and
Server 2008)</li>
</ul>

<p>I'm asking primarily so I can avoid pitfalls that other people may have experienced with web cams and to see if there are other image capture devices (or C# usable APIs) available that I should look at.  I suspect that any old web cam will do but I'd rather be safe than sorry.</p>

One tip to take advantage of is the relative path fix-up support provided by the head runat="server" control.  You can use this within Master Pages to easily reference a .CSS stylesheet that is re-used across the entire project (regardless of whether the project is root referenced or a sub-application):
The path fix-up feature of the head control will then take the relative .CSS stylesheet path and correctly output the absolute path to the stylesheet at runtime regardless of whether it is a root referenced web-site or part of a sub-application.
