I am using SecuGen Hamster Plus Finger print scan device for thumb impression recognition. It is asking for some Secugen SDK for using the device in my code.

I wanna Know that is it necessary to use SDK? Is there any method to use the device with out using its SDK? If its possible, then please help me.

Thank you in advance

Not really - if they provide an SDK it is to make your job easier. While you could program for most things without the SDK, it would be a lot more trouble than it is worth, as you would have to duplicate all the clever software that the SDK encompasses. The chances are that the device is fairly dumb - just a tiny scanner - and all the clever fingerprint matching stuff is done by routines in the SDK. Tall to the manufacturers - they will quite probably provide it.

Why swim through a river when you have a boat to ease your pain. The SDK will ease your work except if you want to trouble yourself with working things out all by yourself. The manufacturer of your device is call to provide you with the SDK, which may even contain sample codes & tutorials.
