I need a control to implement scanning functionality into my VB.NET application. Does anyone have any good experience with a TWAIN toolset that will control the scanner, do some image correction, etc ect? My old trusted VFP one doesn't offer a .NET flavor.



Also, in VFP I never stored images in the database, I just stored pointers to the file locations. It always worked very well, can anyone make the argument that I should be storing the images themselves in SQL Server? They will be about 25kb per.



Thanks for any input.

I am considering purchasing Atalasoft. I need basic scanning functionality. Are the examples up to demostrating implementing that.

We have no examples for Atalasoft but they have samples of their own.  StrataFrame does not have any wrappers for Atalasoft, as their really is no need.  You can also download their trial to make sure it will work for you.  The number one thing they have against all of their competitors is that their run-time licenses are royalty-free....BIG plus in my book!!!
