Hi,

I am looking forward to learn and understand that how can create a windows application which allows us to record our screen with sound using C# and .NET framework.
I don't want to use any third party plugins, dlls etc.

0	Sojanya, Your solution depends on the platform. If you want to develop a Windows Store App, it is relatively easy as explained here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/dn642093.aspx If you wish to develop a Windows desktop program, it won't be as easy. I found this old but good article: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/armoghanasif/CaptureDesktopActivities11122005013755AM/CaptureDesktopActivities.aspx The problem with the article is that the 2 Microsoft links in the prerequisites section no longer work, so you might have a hard time finding the needed Microsoft libraries. Other options are doing it using hard-core DirectShow which is not easy unless you're a very good C++ programmer, or using a toolkit like Lead Tools.

0	Hi Mathiswout, They are all talking about some third party dependencies which I don't want. I am just trying to look into whether C# itself it capable to process images to video, video recording and audio recording. So, I need only pure C# code without any third party's dependency.

0	Sojanya, I searched the internet and I found that C# itself does not support advanced multimedia features. There is a free library that uses DirectShow in C#, which is DirectShow .NET. You can read about it here: http://directshownet.sourceforge.net/ If this library does not do what you need, you might eventually have to use an SDK.
