C# to disable a device

[NeedHelp]

I'd like to disable and enable certain devices such as a webcam. Is it possible to disable a device using C#?

you need to look into win32 API, as this is the lowest level access to the operating system allowed through C#

Would c++ be a better choice then? These APIs are unmanaged, correct?

[hoser2001]

IF C++ is a different option sure, I was able to find better resources for this in C++. I also would like to take back that which I said about NEEDING the API , check out the system.management namespace and see if there is anything useful there before you start with the API. Here is a good source for using API with C++
