Peter,
Thank you for your reply. I figured out how to delete images from my digital camera, plus worked out some details of gathering information from it. I'm including a simple console app below that includes the delete code. This http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/wiascriptingdotnet.asp is also an excellent starting point, though it includes no example of how to delete an image.
using System;
using WIA;
namespace WiaCameraTest
{
class Class1
{
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
WiaCameraAccess();
Console.Write("ENTER to exit: ");
Console.ReadLine();
}
public static void WiaCameraAccess()
{
// Create a device manager instance
WIA.DeviceManagerClass devMgr = new WIA.DeviceManagerClass();
// Iterate through the device info collection. Assume the first device in the
// collection is the the digital camera we're after. Display all of its properties,
// connect to it, then exit the loop
Device cameraDevice = null;
foreach (DeviceInfo info in devMgr.DeviceInfos)
{
foreach(IProperty p in info.Properties)
{
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("PropertyID: {0} Name: {1} ",p.PropertyID,p.Name));
}
cameraDevice = info.Connect();
break;
}
// Display the list of commands available on the camera. Don't be surprised if the only
// available command is "Synchronize"
foreach(WIA.DeviceCommand c in cameraDevice.Commands)
{
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("DeviceCommand Command: '{0}' ID: {1} Desc: {2}",
c.Name, c.CommandID, c.Description));
}
// Display list of properties exposed by the camera.
foreach(WIA.Property p in cameraDevice.Properties)
{
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("PropertyID: {0} Name: {1} ",p.PropertyID,p.Name));
}
// Delete an image from the camera. Assume we want to delete the second image.
// Note that camera images are indexed 1, 2, 3, ... (i.e. not zero-based)
// Note that the Items collection of the camera device is assumed to be the collection of
// images (warning: this relationship can apparently vary by camera make and model)
int removeItemIdx = 2;
cameraDevice.Items.Remove(removeItemIdx); // remove the item from the device Items collection
cameraDevice.ExecuteCommand(WIA.CommandID.wiaCommandSynchronize); // synchronize camera to Items collection
// Display commands available per remaining image items
foreach(WIA.Item item in cameraDevice.Items)
{
string itemName = item.ItemID;
int iCount = item.Commands.Count;
int j = iCount;
foreach(WIA.DeviceCommand c in item.Commands)
{
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Device '{3}' ItemCommand: '{0}' ID: {1} Desc: {2}",
c.Name, c.CommandID, c.Description, itemName));
}
}
}
}
}
