C# and scanners

I am developing an application that will need to take scanned images,
name them, sort them, place them in specific folders, etc as they're
scanned. Does anyone know what I need to do in C# to access and work
with a TWAIN compliant scanner, or how I can find this information?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

HI Robert:

Codeproject.com has an article with wrapper classes for the TWAIN API.
I'd also look for any COM / ActiveX wrappers as these might be easy to
import into a project. I'm sure if you google you'll find some as many
companies have written components for imaging, faxing, scanning.

I have a barcode scanner that hooks up to a keyboard port. I've figured out how to setup a system-wide keyboard hook. However, how do I distinguish regular keyboard input from the barcode scanner input. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Hi everyone, Thanks in advance for reading this. I'm not a novice, but I'm not a PHP pro, either, nor a programming expert of any kind, so I'm kind of trying to find a solution that works for a job that I'm working on. I have this client that wants to be able to control their web and retail inventory from one place (I mean, it's the same inventory).

Hello, I am a C# newbie. I want to create a barcode reader engine library, with base class that supports basic functions, but there are many brands of barcode and there are some brands that have specific functions. I don't know ahead of time which brand runs the program. How do I call a specific function of that brand without it getting awkward? Do I have to check its type and then cast it such as the example below? Thanks in advance!...
