Lightweight scanning control. Atalasoft DotTwain is a 100% managed .NET Windows Forms component that allows fast capturing of digital images from scanners, cameras and other devices supporting TWAIN. It utilizes the improvements of the TWAIN 1.9 specifications for ultra fast scanning. It works with .NET Bitmap objects and has no dependencies other than the .NET Framework. This is intended for a small footprint no-touch deployment over the Web or if you need scanning abilities without Atalasoft DotImage.

Scanning and Aquisition

DotTwain is a lightweight .NET scanning component that can be used for acquiring images directly to an in-memory image, a file, or posted to the web. Only one 172 kb assembly is required for deployment.

To add simple scanning to your applications, simply drop this component onto your form, and write one line of code.

[C#]

Bitmap bmp = this.acquisition.AcquireModal(false);

[Visual Basic]

Dim bmp As Bitmap = Me.acquisition.AcquireModal(False)

To add more advanced capabilities, including scanning from an automatic document feeder or acquiring multiple images from a camera, just handle the ImageAcquired event which is fired for each image that's acquired. The Device object includes over 70 properties that can be set to directly control the TWAIN driver when scanning images.

No COM Dependencies

Due to the lack of many vendors fully supporting .NET in their advanced components, developers have begun to accept COM as part their.NET applications with no other alternatives. This is against Microsoft's.NET philosophy which eliminates "DLL Hell", allows for easy and secure deployment, and uses a modern Object Oriented programming model. DotTwain fully adopts Microsoft's .NET philosophy without any COM dependencies, "X-Copy" deployment, and a modern object oriented design.

Web Deployment

DotTwain can be deployed over the web by being embedded into Internet Explorer, or part of a web-deployed Windows Form application.

Features:

Full context sensitive help and documentation

Object-oriented design; a TWAIN extension to the .NET Framework

Create a custom interface to scan images, or use the default TWAIN interface

Automatic Document Feeder support, with full control of the feeder operations

File system support for navigating the internal device memory

Acquire images directly to file utilizing compression algorithms supported by the device

A select region of the scanning bed to be acquired with frame support

Upload a scanned image to a server with the built in HTTP Post class

Supports Web Deployment ; Embed into an Internet Explorer Browser or deploy as a WinForms application

Simplified automatic capture allowing the device to quickly capture multiple images for later acquisition

Imprinter/Endorser methods allowing a text string ito be stamped onto the acquired image during the acquisition

Image dataset support enables acquisition of specific images from a camera in a single operation

Quickly find out what capabilities, compression modes, frame sizes, resolutions and more, are supported by a device

Over 70 properties to give total control over the image acquisition
