.net – Simulate a DirectShow Webcam

directshowdirectshow.netdirectxnet

I am a developer in DotNet. I want to give skype a possibility to add a webcam simulator and send my bitmap frames to the DirectShow simulator. In this case I can draw my images in my application and on skype I can share this images to my friend.

PhotoWebcamDirectX

I was on:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd407344%28VS.85%29.aspx
but it's no Dotnet and I am not sure what example I should believe in.

I also saw:
http://directshownet.sourceforge.net/
But as far as I undestand, here I cannot do with this framework what I need, or can I?

My question is: What is basically needed to create such an DirectShow item?

Regards

It is possible through a virtual device, see

You will have hard time implementing this in C# only, as the APIs are for native code.
