Sample usage:

// create video source FileVideoSource videoSource = new FileVideoSource( fileName ); // set NewFrame event handler videoSource.NewFrame += new NewFrameEventHandler( video_NewFrame ); // start the video source videoSource.Start( ); // ... // signal to stop videoSource.SignalToStop( ); // ... // New frame event handler, which is invoked on each new available video frame private void video_NewFrame( object sender, NewFrameEventArgs eventArgs ) { // get new frame Bitmap bitmap = eventArgs.Frame; // process the frame }

SignalToStop ( ) : void

Signal video source to stop its work.

Signals video source to stop its background thread, stop to provide new frames and free resources.

Starts video source and return execution to caller. Video source object creates background thread and notifies about new frames with the help of NewFrame event.

Stop ( ) : void

Stop video source.

Stops video source aborting its thread.

Since the method aborts background thread, its usage is highly not preferred and should be done only if there are no other options. The correct way of stopping camera is signaling it stop and then waiting for background thread's completion.
