TWAIN or Scanner Driver

[Carlos]

Dear All,

I wanna ask whether there is a method to communicate with scanner in C#.

Thank,
Carlos

Carlos,

There is no way natively, but you should be able to access TWAIN
functionality through it's own API (I believe there is one) or through the
Windows Image Aquisition API. Either way, you will have to use P/Invoke or
COM interop.

Hope this helps.

Hi Nicholas!

Perhaps this is a starting point:

WIA Scripting and .NET

There are commercial libraries to do this. Pagasus have a product
called TwainPro (http://www.pegasusimaging.com/twainpro.htm).

Hope this helps,
Mark
