Capture image from scanner

Any good libraries (you experience with) for capturing image from scanner? Thanks in advance!

Gigemboy posted some WIA code in the VB.NET CodeBank.

Oh thanks JM. Will look at it.

JM, is this capturing from Scanners? Or desktop image capture? Or are they related? I mean I have to invoke the scanner (the scanner eats the paper to scan) and get the image. Prolly save it to database after then.

From MSDN:

The Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) API is standardized for acquiring digital images from devices that are primarily used to capture still images and for managing these devices.

Here's gig's thread. It was written for a Web cam but the principles should be transferable to a scanner.

There's also a ton of information on WIA available at MSDN, but keep in mind it was designed originally for C++ developers. The WIA Automation Layer is probably easier to work with. Having said all that, I've never worked with WIA myself so I know b*gger all about it.

Thanks JM.
