Take the following steps to start a project:

1. Start Visual Studio .NET.
2. Choose File->New->Project… from the menu.
3. In the New Project dialog box, choose either "Visual C# Projects" or "Visual Basic Projects" in the Projects Type List, and choose "Windows Application " in the Templates List.
4. Type the project name as "TwainDuplex" in the Project Name field, and then choose OK. If desired, type a new location for your project or select a directory using the Browse button, and then choose OK .
5. In the "Solution Explorer" window, right-click on the "References" folder, and select "Add Reference…" from the context menu. In the "Add Reference" dialog box, select the ".NET" tab and browse to Leadtools For .NET "\LEAD Technologies\LEADTOOLS xx\Bin\DotNet\Win32 " folder and select the following DLLs:
   • Leadtools.dll
   • Leadtools.Twain.dll
   • Leadtools.Codecs.dll
   • Leadtools.WinForms.dll
   Click the Select button and then press the OK button to add the above DLLs to the application.
6. Go to the toolbox (View->Toolbox) and Drag and drop an instance of Button control to the top of the form and set the following properties for them:

   Text	Name
   Acquire	buttonAcquire

7. Switch to Form1 code view (right-click Form1 in the solution explorer then select View Code ) and add the following lines at the beginning of the file:

   [Visual Basic]

               Imports Leadtools
               Imports Leadtools.Twain
               Imports Leadtools.Codecs
               Imports Leadtools.WinForms
               
   

   [C#]

               using Leadtools;
               using Leadtools.Twain;
               using Leadtools.Codecs;
               using Leadtools.WinForms;
               
   

8. Declare the following private variable:

   [Visual Basic]

               Private WithEvents twnSession As TwainSession
               
   

   [C#]

               private TwainSession twnSession;
               
   

9. Add an event handler to the Form1 Load event and code it as follows:

   [Visual Basic]

               Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
                  Try
                     ' Unlock Document support.
                     ' Note that this is a sample key, which will not work in your toolkit.
                     RasterSupport.Unlock(RasterSupportType.Document, "TestKey")
                     twnSession = new TwainSession
                     twnSession.Startup(Me, "manufacturer", "productFamily", "version", "application", TwainStartupFlags.None)
                  Catch ex As Exception
                     MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
                  End Try
               End Sub   
               
   

   [C#]

               private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
               {
                  try
                  {
                     // Unlock Document support.
                     // Note that this is a sample key, which will not work in your toolkit.
                     RasterSupport.Unlock(RasterSupportType.Document, "TestKey");
                     twnSession = new TwainSession();
                     twnSession.Startup(this, "manufacturer", "productFamily", "version", "application", TwainStartupFlags.None);
                  }
                  catch (Exception ex)
                  {
                     MessageBox.Show(this, ex.Message);
                  }
               }
               
   

10. Add an event handler to the Form1 Closing event and code it as follows:

    [Visual Basic]

                Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
                   Try
                      twnSession.Shutdown()
                   Catch ex As Exception
                      MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
                   End Try
                End Sub   
                
    

    [C#]

                private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
                {
                   try
                   {
                      twnSession.Shutdown();
                   }
                   catch (Exception ex)
                   {
                      MessageBox.Show(this, ex.Message);
                   }
                }
                
    

11. Add an event handler to the buttonAcquire Click event and code it as follows:

    [Visual Basic]

                Private Sub buttonAcquire_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles buttonAcquire.Click
                   Dim twainCap As TwainCapability
                   twnSession.SelectSource(String.Empty)
                   Try
                   twainCap = twnSession.GetCapability(TwainCapabilityType.Duplex, TwainGetCapabilityMode.GetValues)
                      If Not IsNothing(twainCap) Then
                         ' check if the selected driver supports duplex capability
                         If (twainCap.OneValueCapability.ItemType <> TwainItemType.Uint16) Then
                            twnSession.Shutdown()
                            Return
                         End If
                         Dim item As TwainCapabilityValue = CType(twainCap.OneValueCapability.Value, TwainCapabilityValue)
                         Select Case item
                            Case TwainCapabilityValue.DuplexNone
                               MessageBox.Show(Me, "Duplex capability is not supported in the selected driver")
                            Case TwainCapabilityValue.DuplexOnePassDuplex
                               MessageBox.Show(Me, "1 Pass Duplex capability is supported in the selected driver")
                            Case TwainCapabilityValue.DuplexTwoPassDuplex
                               MessageBox.Show(Me, "2 Pass Duplex capability is supported in the selected driver")

                         ' make sure the duplex capability is enabled
                         If item <> TwainCapabilityValue.DuplexNone Then
                            Dim enable As Boolean = True
                            twainCap.Information.Type = TwainCapabilityType.DuplexEnabled

12. Build, and Run the program to test it.
