Hello all,

I am tired of trying to make the third party twain library work with our system. I want to write my own module that will handle all the communication necessary to do what we need the scanner to do. What we need is as follows:
1. Scan in the page(s)
2. Save it to 1 Tiff file
I already have the code to take a file saved on the c drive and save it to our SQL Server.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to figure out how to do this cause evrything I enter into Google just gets me companies wanting to sell me there software, nothing that will teach me how to do it on my own.


Thanks in advance,

Brian
 
there is one article on the coeproject or planet source code. But I really wouldn't bother.You will have to read thru the TWAIN spec wich is about 300 pages. I have one twain library for 50$ but I can't remeber it's name. And it works reall good.

The problem with twain is that it has more exceptions then rules. And it has become one big mess.
