If you have a web cam, and you want to create a WinForms application to capture still images (snap shots), If the camera has a standard DirectShow driver, you can do this using DirectShow SDK. For more information, see this post:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/2615/DirectShow-NET
Note that some people (including me) find programming with DirectShow somehow difficult.
I am currently using a programming multimedia toolkit (leadtools) that has native .NET classes which wrap DirectShow functions and provide high-level controls for .NET developers. You can find more information here:

Hello,

I have two possible solutions for you:

Option 1: Take a look at this Codeproject guide that explains how to take IP camera snapshots and save the captured image on your computer. It presents how to build a WinForms Application for IP cameras.

Option 2: Watch this video tutorial that explains how to implement snapshot taking feature for your camera viewer application in C#. It can be also used for USB webcams and IP cameras as well. The video demonstrates how to build such a WPF application. (Its full source code can be downloaded as well.)

You may need some addition information about the Onvif techonology as follows:
- What is Onvif
- Onvif software download
I hope it helped you to get started.

use the below code on you button click even:
private void btnCapture_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
CameraCaptureTask camera = new CameraCaptureTask();
camera.Completed += camera_Completed;
camera.Show();
}

void camera_Completed(object sender, PhotoResult e)
{
if (e.TaskResult == TaskResult.OK)
{
bitMap = new BitmapImage();
bitMap.SetSource(e.ChosenPhoto);
// Set to Image Control
caputredImage.Stretch = System.Windows.Media.Stretch.UniformToFill;
caputredImage.Source = bitMap;

// Enable The Save Button
btnSave.IsEnabled = true;
}
}

Ensure the capabilities for camera is selected
Capability Name="ID_CAP_ISV_CAMERA"

Capability Name="ID_HW_FRONTCAMERA"
