here is the code

private async Task StartPreviewAsync()
    {
        try
        {
            mediaCapture = new MediaCapture();
            var allVideoDevices = await DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync(DeviceClass.VideoCapture);
            var count = allVideoDevices.Count;

            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(count+"Video Capture Device");
            await mediaCapture.InitializeAsync();
            PreviewControl.Source = mediaCapture;
            await mediaCapture.StartPreviewAsync();
        }
        catch (UnauthorizedAccessException)
        {
            // This will be thrown if the user denied access to the camera in privacy settings
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("The app was denied access to the camera");
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("MediaCapture initialization failed.");
        }
    }
    //protected async override void OnNavigatedFrom(NavigationEventArgs e)
    //{
    //    await CleanupCameraAsync();
    //}

Windows 10 IoT Edition currently supports limited number of devices which are on Hardware Compatibility List (see Cameras section). Unfortunately, if you camera is not listed there, you will not be able to use it from your UWP Application. As far as I know, Raspberry Pi native camera is not supported.
