How can anyone possibly answer this question when we have no idea what "device" you are using, what API it has, what it supports and so on? It doesn't matter how many times you ask this question you are not going to get a meaningful reply. The only thing I'll say is that it is highly likely it won't be possible to do this using asp.net as (as you've been told before) the server can't access devices attached to the client machine.

By principle, webapps don't have access to client file system or client hardware.
That is basic security to protect from malware.

Short answer: The whole process is 'Niet'.

You cannot directly connect/communication with the client machine hardware using web application. But here's some approach you can try: Use ActiveX component or Create a Windows Service(WCF, WebAPI etc..).

It communication like: Web Application <---> Windows Service <---->Hardware

Device manufacturer provides SDK. You will have to use it to communicate with Biometric device. e.g. Essel provides SDK with their devices to develop software but you cannot usr same SDK with other supplier's device.
So first of all get SDK for device and then study it's complete usage.
