Hidden Camera in WPF C#. Do not want to show image to user
How can I implement an WebCam application in WPF/C# without showing the image control on the window. A function would capture the current frame and save it to disk.

It might not be technically possible to capture without the user finding out. Usually, when an application activates the camera (for example using its DirectShow capture driver), other applications will be locked out of it and will not be able to access.
Even if you create a hidden application that operates the camera, there's always a possibility the user will try to use it with a different application and will find out it's already being used.
