This repo contains sample applications that demonstrate the API usage patterns for using the camera related features on Universal Windows Platform (UWP), Win32 Desktop platform and .NetCore 3.0 for Windows 10. These code samples were created with the project templates available in Visual Studio, and are designed to run on desktop, mobile, and future devices.
Note: If you are unfamiliar with Git and GitHub, you can download the entire collection as a ZIP file, but be sure to unzip everything to access shared dependencies.
These samples require Visual Studio 2017 Update 4 or higher and the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) version 16299 for Windows 10 or higher on a per-sample basis.
Additionally, to stay on top of the latest updates to Windows and the development tools, become a Windows Insider by joining the Windows Insider Program.
These samples require Visual Studio 2017 Update 4 or higher and the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) version 17763 for Windows 10.
These samples require .NetCore 3.0 SDK and Visual Studio 2019 preview. (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/preview/)
The easiest way to use these samples without using Git is to download the zip file containing the current version (using the following link or by clicking the "Download ZIP" button on the repo page). You can then unzip the entire archive and use the samples in Visual Studio.
Notes:
- Before you unzip the archive, right-click it, select Properties, and then select Unblock.
- Be sure to unzip the entire archive, and not just individual samples. The samples all depend on the SharedContent folder in the archive.
- In Visual Studio 2017, the platform target defaults to ARM, so be sure to change that to x64 or x86 if you want to test on a non-ARM device.
The samples use Linked files in Visual Studio to reduce duplication of common files, including sample template files and image assets. These common files are stored in the SharedContent folder at the root of the repository, and are referred to in the project files using links.
Reminder: If you unzip individual samples, they will not build due to references to other portions of the ZIP file that were not unzipped. You must unzip the entire archive if you intend to build the samples.
For more info about the programming models, platforms, languages, and APIs demonstrated in these samples, please refer to the guidance, tutorials, and reference topics provided in the Windows 10 documentation available in the Windows Developer Center. These samples are provided as-is in order to indicate or demonstrate the functionality of the programming models and feature APIs for Windows.
