ANN: Priore TWAIN .NET Control

Priore TWAIN .NET Control is an invisible-at-runtime (windowless) control
available for a .NET Windows Forms, which allows you to create sophisticated
TWAIN compliant imaging applications.

Priore TWAIN .NET Control provides the following rich set of features:

*Standard TWAIN image acquisition and Data Source selection.
*Image acquisition without TWAIN User Interface.
*Image object directly available after the acquisition.
*Set the DPI resolution of the acquisition.
*Set the image size of the acquisition.

Requirements
This component requires Visual .NET Framework 1.1 SP1. The component can be
used with any development environment that supports its. This control
depends on the .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 for VS.NET.

VB.NET Sample:

Imports Priore.Controls

Dim TW As Twain
TW = New Twain(Me.Handle)
TW.Resolution = 100
TW.ColorType = Twain.TWAIN_CLASS_COLOURTPYE.twRGB
TW.ShowInterface = True
TW.ShowProgress = True
TW.StartScan
PictureBox1.Image = TW.Image
TW.Image.Save("myimage.jpg")

What is TWAIN ?

TWAIN defines a standard software protocol and application programming
interface (API) for communication between software applications and image
acquisition devices.
TWAIN Provides image acquisition solutions
Users need a painless way to get image data into their applications.
Software developers need compatibility with the widest range of output
devices without writing and maintaining multiple device drivers.
The solution to this situation is an open industry interface (TWAIN) that
directly acquires image data from external sources while within an
application. With this, each software developer supports a standard data
acquisition manager and each hardware vendor writes one driver for their
device. hardware vendors benefit because they need only provide one standard
driver for their device, which can then be used by all software applications
supporting the TWAIN data acquisition interface.
TWAIN defines how application developers can acquire image data directly
into their application without requiring the user to switch out of the
application. To provide this feature, TWAIN requires Data Sources to provide
a built-in user interface (UI) for their device. Application developers can,
if they choose, disable the built-in User Interface provided by the Data
Source and provide their own User Interface to control TWAIN devices
