{ 
   // reference the capture control 
   CaptureCtrl capturectrl = _form.CaptureCtrl; 
 
   // output file

   try 
   { 
      // set the video capture device, use your capture device name here 
      if (capturectrl.VideoDevices["USB"] == null) 
         throw new Exception("No USB video device available"); 
 
      capturectrl.VideoDevices["USB"].Selected = true; 
 
      // set the capture mode to still and start 
      capturectrl.StartCapture(CaptureMode.Still); 
 
      // get a still image 
      Image image = capturectrl.GetStillImage(-1); 
      if (image != null) 
         image.Save(outFile, ImageFormat.Jpeg); 
 
      // stop the capture 
      capturectrl.StopCapture(); 
 
      // check for the capture file and set the result
