The camera module is powered from a single +3.3V power supply. An external oscillator provide the clock source for camera module XCLK pin. With proper configuration to the camera internal registers via I2C bus, then the camera supply pixel clock (PCLK) and camera data back to the host with synchronize signal like HREF and VSYNC. The OV7670 camera module is a low cost 0.3 mega pixel CMOS color camera module, it can output 640x480 VGA resolution image at 30fps. The OV7670 camera module build in onboard LDO regulator only single 3.3V power needed and can be used in Arduino, STM32,Chipkit, ARM, DSP , FPGA and etc.

Troubleshooting
If not the exact image you expected, then you might want to trouble shoot,
Case 1: if you are not able to open the output software-
Check for the .net 3.5 installation.
Case 2. If you are having issues with viewing images or not responding software
Check for the wirings 9/10 people go wrong here.
Case
Simply adjust the screw of your camera lens and view different images till they seems to be clear
