vs 2005 and any language (c# or VB )

 Your application will split into two parts:

• A windows forms application (and this is the wrong forum for that - look on MSDN) that will capture the picture and other information and load to the database.
• A web application to display

For examples of the latter see

Hello

Are you planning to implement a web cafe visitor tracking system in online ? Upto my knowledge you won't be able to do this. Because ASP.NET is server based scripting language. Whatever ASPX page you are seeing through browser is the processed output. Processing will be done in the server and output will be send to the requesting browser. Since your webcam is in client machine, you won't get the drivers and connection with it on the server side,

What you can do is create a webservice that accepts all details like phone number, and stores in a DB. Then using a windows application you can refer this webservice,  Using this windows app you can capture photo from webcam and send the details including photo to webservice which will be updated in the server. To get the database values, create another ASPX page.

Happy Programming

With out using a Windows Application.Can we do it only with a web application.As we have avicap32 dll for windows application.Is there any other for web application.

It may well be possible to connect a USB camera to a web application, but the security restrictions that may be needed to be relaxed to use that route make it a route I would not recommend.

What is the problem with using a Windows application for the initial data entry?
