Reset to default 5Have you tried using an 3rd party scanning control such as LeadTools? I have used those controls in the past and worked wonderfully.
Brining in a scanned document through the browser goes beyond the basic functionality of the browser.
If you must stick with ASP.NET, you might consider writing an ActiveX control (IE only, I think) that can handle the scanning and interact with your web page.
You might also consider Silverlight. Although I don't think it can handle the scanning directly, you should be able to interface with COM ponents installed on the system to handle scanned streams.
The wording is sort of ambiguous. Is the scanner on your side or the client's side? I understand that the result of the scan is saved on your client's side.
I assume that the scanner is on the client's side...
You can't access peripherals [ie: a scanner] via standard JavaScript... You can take advantage of ActiveX for IE only.
Why not write a small winforms application in c# and let your client download that?
By the way, if the client has a scanner on his/her side, the scanner will likely have e with software to manipulate the scanner...
