Hi,

Need to create an image scanning application. But where to start? I heard that .NET Twain and LeadTools are the answer but it needs to be purchased. I don't know if this WIA scanner is free and can support the image capture/ scanning process.

Google is a good friend of yours, you can always find a solution. If you just try to search for, "scan images c#" google would return the best threads that have the solution to your problem.

I did the same, and a CodeProject solution, posted in the comments, was achieved. Scan and Save Images to a Database in C# Using Dynamic .NET TWAIN[^]. You can use any API that suits you, you don't need to worry about them. However, check for the rating of that API and its capabilities.

I see, so twain and wia are free of use. I thought they were small apps or sdk, cuz sometimes when i search for these stuffs, i see a "30-day trial"

Oh well, you can search for a 30-day trial, or you can search for a free version. Most of the libraries have a free version of their product which doesn't have everything, but can have everything since you can use their library to develop a full featured application suite.

Somehow, I would like you advise you to search for "open source" they're open source, you can have their source code too if you want to, you can fully edit it to fit your needs. I prefer open source rather than 30 day trial. :-)

Choice is yours brother!

WIA is a viable option, in my opinion. Being part of the Windows platform, is freely available.
