  Multithreading is ok, but what I need is what you would use for the // Code for read data from a device and send

  Would you use Twain, WIA or DirectShow Which one has which advantages and disadvantages

  Thanks for the code friend.

  How can I acquire video from 2 different cameras at the same time

  
  
  About this question, i acquire data from 5 GSM modems at the same time, the way will be similar. I create a class for reading and pre-procesing data from the modem with a independent thread working in it, when i launch (create) the object, it send periodically the pre-processed data to a main form, the way is simple:
  
  class ReadFromHardwareDevice : IDisposable
  {
  private bool MustRun=false;
  public ReadFromHardwareDevice() // Constructor
  {
  // code to create and config the object.
  Thread NewThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(this.Run));
  this.MustRun=true;
  NewThread.Start();
  }
  private void Run()
  {
  while(MustRun)
  {
  // Code for read data from a device and send
  // You can send the data with a event or witn a asynchronous call for example.
  Thread.Sleep(1000); // here config the frecuency of the read.
  }
  this.Dispose();
  }
  public void Stop()
  {
  MustRun=false;
  }
  [... Rest of functions, include implement of Dispose ...]
  }
  
  I hope that this be usefull for you.
  
  Regards.
