I have been asked by a company to create some software for them (PC based), i originally created software for them back in 2000 using VB6. This all worked well but now regulations are changing and they need new software for their new system.
Basically the system records Video (only 1 frame every 15 seconds), from up to 8 sources and audio from upto 10 sources and also lots of instrumented data. This is then stored for playback (i also have to create the playback software).
I have been looking at VS2012 and using VB again to create the software and have found VB has changed quite a bit over the years. I have managed to create a DLL file for the instrumented data recording (my aim is to have one DLL for each recording medium and the main program will use them.
Next i looked at recording the video, and found i could take a capture from my webcam or a USB plugged in video capture device, then when i tried to call a second camera so it records from 2 sources i start having problems.
Now to get to the actual question, i looked online and found alot of info for recording but it is all in C# not VB.net, i also found places to convert the C# to VB.net but these dont seem to work well (or i am doing it wrong).
Do you think i should just go out and learn C# or continue trying to use the VB.net as to me it seems C# can do it all and VB seems to have gaps in its uses.
Just a question and sorry if it is off ANDROID/b4A/JAVA but i value all of your oppinions from the forum.
Regards
