Scanner problem

[mylog]

I am building a DMS and I am stuck at a place. I have a scanner at the server side and I need to access it from the client side. I need to scan the documents and then upload it to the server. I have searched for it but I only found out about the scanner at the client side using activex controls. now what i need to know is "Is it what I am asking possible ?" and if yes, does anyone have what it takes to solve my problem. i would be very grateful to hearing your reply.

Sort of.
If you create an application (it could be a web app, might be easiest that way) and have it contain methods to scan in the document using it's connected scanner. Then you could provide a way to trigger that to happen remotely, possibly by requesting a special webpage/service from that application running on the server.

So on the server you have:
--------------------------------------
A connected scanner.
A method that can scan in the document on the scanner.
A program that uses that method and can be triggered remotely.


And on any other client PC:
------------------------------------------
A way to talk to the server (a webbrowser navigating to the correct page?) to have the program on the server scan in the page.


What you do with it once it's scanned is up to you.

OK then I have an application in c# to scan the document then I put it in server as a separate application and I have my other website at server then I do I communicate with them together and how do I talk with the server remotely.
Do you have any source code or links that could solve my problem.

If you have a C# application that can talk to the scanner already, just incorporate it into your IIS server as a web application of some sort.
