    What exactly do you mean by "without using scanning software" ?

    Possibly, although I'm not sure how.

    More importantly, however, is why would you want to reinvent the wheel? You already have software that will do your scanning. What is the purpose of rewriting what someone has already done and works?

    Maybe you could find a freeware Twain driver dll and just make use of it in your VB app.

    Actually I have to do a scanning application in my project.
    please tell me what easy method i have to apply and how.
    give me the idea and the coding example.
    the scanning operation will happened by clicking the "scan" button and after scan I want to save the the scanned file in a selected path.
