Help with VB.net and twain_32.dll

DLT
I am making progress with my vb.net app. However, I can't seem to find a
way to detect if the feeder is loaded. This is used by my scanner to
determine if there is a sheet in the feeder.

If I launch my application and attempt to acquire a scan, I would like the
program to loop until a sheet is loaded before it attempts to make the
actual scan. The best way to do this is to periodically test to see if
there is a sheet in the feeder... So, a few questions:

- Do I need to initialize the capability like the following example that
initialized transfer count (if so, how?):
Dim cap As TwCapability = New TwCapability(Tw Cap.XferCount, 1)
rc = DScap(appid, srcds, TwDG.Control, TwDAT.Capabilit y, TwMSG.Set, cap)

- Can anyone tell me which function (and how to call it) from the
twain_32.dll? I thought it might be DSstatus but I am not sure...

- Where exactly should the return code be found? but I can seem to get
the function to return any value. other than its Hex value (4099, H1003)
I should get a true or false (true if there is a sheet in the feeder).

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks - DLT

After following Microsofts admonition to reformat my system before doing a final compilation of my app I got many warnings/errors upon compiling an rtf file created in word.

Prior to the reformatting, I copied the help.rtf file onto a CD and checked the box to...

Missing Help Files When I enter "recordset" as the keyword and search the Visual Basic Help index, I get many topics of interest in the resulting list. But there isn't any information available from clicking on many of the available topics (mostly methods but some properties are also unavailable). This same problem occurs with many, if not most, keywords. Is there any way I can activate these "missing" help topics? HELP!

I have written a help file (chm) for a DLL and referenced it using Help.ShowHelp My expectation is that a developer using my DLL would be able to access this help file during his development time using "F1" help within the VB IDE.

VB does not look for my help file; instead, it looks for path to my source code...
