  C# Method to Set WPF PerspectiveCamera Target Here's a method for Windows Presentation Foundation developers wanting to parse some text into a target location for a Camera, such as a PerspectiveCamera:

public static void SetCameraTarget(string Target, Camera Camera)
{
double[] TargetPoint = Array.ConvertAll(Target.Split(char.Parse(" ")), new Converter(DoubleStringConverter));
PerspectiveCamera MyCamera = (PerspectiveCamera)Camera;
Vector3D v1 = new Vector3D(MyCamera.Position.X, MyCamera.Position.Y, MyCamera.Position.Z);
Vector3D v2 = new Vector3D(TargetPoint[0], TargetPoint[1], TargetPoint[2]);
Vector3D NewVector = v2 - v1;
MyCamera.LookDirection = NewVector;
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(NewVector);
}

Just pass a space-delimited string value into it with 3 double values such as: "2 5 3" and a reference to the camera object you want to update.

Oops, I almost forgot ... you need this too:

private double DoubleStringConverter(string StringToParse)
{
try
{
return Double.Parse(StringToParse);
}
catch
{
return 0;
}
