Properties

  Name Description
Public propertySupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone AudioCaptureDevice Gets or sets the associated audio capture device that is relevant to this capture.
Public propertySupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone Dispatcher Gets the Dispatcher this object is associated with. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)

Methods

  Name Description
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone CaptureImageAsync Initiates an asynchronous image capture request. Retrieve the returned image by handling the CaptureImageCompleted event on this CaptureSource.
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone CheckAccess Determines whether the calling thread has access to this object. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone ClearValue Clears the local value of a dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone GetAnimationBaseValue Returns any base value established for a Silverlight dependency property, which would apply in cases where an animation is not active. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone GetValue Returns the current effective value of a dependency property from a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
Protected methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone ReadLocalValue Returns the local value of a dependency property, if a local value is set. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone SetValue Sets the local value of a dependency property on a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone Start Initiates capture from all capture devices that are relevant to this CaptureSource.
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone Stop Stops capture from all capture devices that are relevant to this CaptureSource.
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Events

  Name Description
Public eventSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone CaptureFailed Occurs when a requested capture operation does not generate a captured sample.
Public eventSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone CaptureImageCompleted Occurs when an asynchronous image capture request has returned a captured image.

Fields

  Name Description
Public fieldStatic memberSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone AudioCaptureDeviceProperty Identifies the AudioCaptureDevice dependency property.
Public fieldStatic memberSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone VideoCaptureDeviceProperty Identifies the VideoCaptureDevice dependency property.

Remarks

By using CaptureSource APIs, you can enable the following scenarios:

  • Grab a video frame and convert it to a static image by calling CaptureImageAsync, and handling CaptureImageCompleted to obtain the result.

  • Capture a complete video into this CaptureSource by calling Start and Stop. Then use this CaptureSource as the value for SetSource to play back the video.

CaptureSource does not enable access to raw audio or video. To access this data, you must provide overrides for AudioSink.OnSamples or VideoSink.OnSample. You use Start and Stop for raw-format scenarios to start and stop the captures so that the sinks can process the resulting streams.

Version Notes

Silverlight for Windows Phone Silverlight for Windows Phone

 To save video to a file, you can use the FileSink class.

In Windows Phone applications that use the CaptureSource class, you must also use the Microsoft.Devices.Camera, Microsoft.Devices.PhotoCamera, or Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio.Microphone class to enable audio capture and accurate capability detection in the application.
