I want to develop a web application (asp.net) to make interviews through video conference. So I need to find a control that could be embedded into the webform.
Do you know any control that allows this functionality and also allows to save the video/audio?
Thanks in advance.
Does it need to be a web application? check out this project someone created. Seems like it will get you going in the right direction.

I want to place a button in my ASP.NET Web Forms projec, that connects directly to my Scanner (hardware). Scan & Upload.
Is there a way to do so?
(Activex, etc.)
Thank you
Did you try TwainX, it says.
"Easily integrate Scanners into your web-based applications with a minimum of ... of indirection"
http://twainx.sourceforge.net/
If this is an internal scanner accesible to your company, there is sense in doing this, but if the general public has to do it, they will have to install the activex and all, not recommending your approach. Might as well ask the user to scan it, and then upload the image.
This article - Scan and Upload Documents in ASP.NET MVC App using Dynamic Web TWAIN - may help you as an alternative
I found this post that includes source code that uses the ASP.NET to show how to scan on the client side and then upload the images onto the server:

Hello StackOverflow,
I intend to develop an asp.net web app for my final year project (to complete my bachelors degree) ,Scenario is that I want to allow users of the app to post videos(vidz) and these vidz can only be watched by the user who is allowed by the owner of the vidz ,further more the viewer should only be able to view the vidoes...
I came to know about the DRM solution of silverlight but i think its comes with some cost ,so for me its unaffordable..
it's a bit of a kludge but I used the approach below to protect images from being downloaded without the right cookie being set ... a variation could be used to hide the video from random attempts.
if you need to be really certain that it's protected then a solution like PlayReady is going to be the answer, but if you just need to avoid casual "fly-by" then this might be enough

If you're using ASP.Net MVC I recommend you to take a look at this project:
http://mvcresumingactions.codeplex.com/
By adding authorization layer on top of your controller you can easily manage access to that controller based on your own logic (Like members who have access to that video). For more information about authorization you can take a look at:

I know this is little bit generic but I hope this can give you some clue :-)
Like the title says, is it possible to run a winforms component inside a asp.net website and then take a screenshot of it?
It is possible to place a user control on a web page but my experience with it in the past were really bad.
I tried this back in 2005 and it worked on Internet Explorer only, and even in a well-defined intranet there were machines where it failed.
So I would vote against.
For the screenshot part, please see this SO posting.
Short answer: no. The ASP.NET runtime won't let you create a Form within its sandbox. Access to the Graphics library is also tied to WinForms, so I doubt that will be much help.
I would take a look at WPF; the XAML markups for layout of controls can be rendered in a forms app or a web browser, allowing you to create a web control that looks like a windows form control.
Sorry, really newbie question, but if I was to create an ASP.NET website application, such as a calendar of events linked to a database - would the user interacting with this Calendar be using Active X?
Don't really know how to put that question any other way. Reason I ask is that my works system blocks Active X controls and therefore there would be no point in using ASP.NET to develop anything.
As a side question - What doesn't use Active X?
Thanks
ASP.NET is a server side technology and does not necessarily have anything to do with client side technologies such as ActiveX or anything else.
ASP.NET doesn't use ActiveX unless you make it do so, via interop.
There are many ASP.NET controls etc that will do what you want and use JavaScript etc rather than ActiveX. For really slick dynamic stuff MS are pushing Silverlight, which is their competitor to Flash in many ways.
Ok so we have an upcoming development that will involve a level of off line processing of dynamic forms. Here's what we have to do:
Create a asp.net web application whereby users can download dynamic forms, fill them in then upload them to be published.
We also have a windows mobile application that will do something similar.
The forms will requires images to be selected for uploading when publishing.
Upon publishing the completed form certain server side validation needs to occur which may trigger additional work to be done i.e. send out emails or update a database etc.
From what I know of InfoPoint (which is next to nothing) it seems like it may be a nice fit. I know its quite highly tied to SharePoint (which again I know nothing about), but can it be used without a SharePoint instance?
Either way, I am just firstly looking for validation that InfoPath is a good fit for what I describe. If it is the I am also after some good online resources.
Thanks in advance, Chris.
I don't think that there is an InfoPath client for mobile devices. What you would want to do is use Forms Server (comes with SharePoint 2007 Enterprise edition) to render InfoPath forms as aspx to the mobile device.
Everything else you describe could be done with straight ASP.NET and the InfoPath client. The mobile piece sounds like it will require SharePoint (for rendering the InfoPath forms as aspx).
See this blog post on using Infopath forms on mobile devices: http://blogs.technet.com/vik/archive/2008/02/25/filling-out-infopath-forms-on-windows-mobile-devices.aspx
Also the Formotus solution may work for you: http://www.formotus.com/
Before delving into whether or not InfoPath (+ SharePoint) is the right solution, what's the reason for not using ASP.NET with which I assume you are familiar? While InfoPath + SharePoint is sexy and hot right now, the learning curve is very high.
Back to InfoPath, I don't believe InfoPath supports uploading files. At least not out of the box. So if having your users upload images is a requirement, I'll say infoPath is out. Apart from that, InfoPath, with the addition of SharePoint Forms Services and workflow, can be used to accomplish what you want. I just wonder what the cost would be versus using straight up ASP.NET.
