Integrate image scanning within a C# application

Now, include the WIA library (C:\Windows\System32\wiaaut.dll) within your project by adding a reference to it :

Figure 2.

Add a new class to your project and name it Scanner:

using System;
using WIA;

namespace ScanImage
{
    public class Scanner
    {
        Device oDevice;
        Item oItem;
        CommonDialogClass dlg;
        public Scanner()
        {
         dlg = new CommonDialogClass();
         oDevice = dlg.ShowSelectDevice(WiaDeviceType.ScannerDeviceType, true, false);
        }
        public void Scann()
        {
            dlg.ShowAcquisitionWizard(oDevice);
        }
    }
}

In order to consume the services of this very simple class add a button and a picture box to your form as your project is Windows form one, the form should looks like this bellow:

Figure 3.

Do implement the button1_click as follow:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Scanner oScanner = new Scanner();
    oScanner.Scann();
    button1.Text = "Image scanned";
    OpenFileDialog dlg = new OpenFileDialog();
    if (dlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
    {
       pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(dlg.FileName);
    }
}
