Question

How can I save images captured from webcam to my c:/ drive with different file names?

I have been able to capture image webcam and save it on my c:/ drive, but am having slight problems. I want each time an image is saved,it should not overwrite the old captured one already saved on my c:/

(i.e images saved will be different from previous ones left untouched with different names pix1.jpg, pix2.jpg, pixs3.jpg, pix4.jpg etc).

In your method to capture and save to a certain filename, use:

string fileName;
int n = 0;

do {
    fileName = "pix" + (++n).ToString() + ".jpg";
} while(System.IO.File.Exists(fileName));

Then add fileName to the path, and you’re done.
