Everything depends on the device itself. Some have open or free SDK, even .net driver, but some have no direct PC interface and in most cases you have to pay for the integration API. Do you have any concrete device selected, or you want our advice in selecting one?

Again: depends on the device and the device manufacturer. How could we give you any reasonable answer, if you don't tell us at least the manufacturer and the model of the device?

ok the model is AC100

PROCESSOR : 400 MHz microprocessor
MEMORY : 4MB flash memory
-STORAGE:
• Fingerprint templates:1500
• Transaction :100000
-ENROLLMENT & VERIFICATION:
• Methods :Fingerprint (1:1, 1:N), Password
• Recommended fingerprint per user ID: 2
• Fingerprint placement :Any angle

there are two ports for the device :
1.RS232/485 Port (serial communication)
2.TCP/IP Port

it has The FingerTec BioBridge SDK 2.0.

Have you tried reading the manual for the device ? does it come with any SDK/Samples ?

You're likely going to have to user the SerialPort class (looking at what you've written), thats assuming you can find out which serial port (or usb -> virtual serial port) your finger print device is connected to

The biggest issue is know what commands etc to send to the finger print device and then when to read the data back
