There are two issues here:

1. Scan document - this is bewst solved with some type of third party
scanner control. You have to decide if you want to OCR (so you can save as
text) or just scan to image.

2. Save to SQL Server

I would solve the harder problem, scanning, first and then move back to SQL
Server, as there are plenty of examples on the web for saving files to SQL
Server as binary.

Peace and Grace,

The Windows Acquisition Library (WIA.DLL) gives you everything you need to
control a scanner and capture images. It uses an object model that would be
familiar to .Net programmers and is easy to integrate into your project.
