Testing to See if a Camera is Available on Windows Mobile Device

If you are trying to support a built in camera in your Windows Mobile Application, it is often useful to be able to test to see if the camera is availalble in the device. It is simple to do, but maybe not very obvious how to get to this property. Also, if you try to use the CameraCaptureDialog when there is no camera present, it can have unexpected results.

Dim cameraPresent As Boolean = _
CBool(Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status.SystemProperty.CameraPresent)
