Start Visual Studio .NET.

Choose File->New->Project… from the menu.

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.

Type the project name as "Acquiring an Image From WIA Source" 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.

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 the "<LEADTOOLS_INSTALLDIR>\Bin\DotNet4\Win32" folder and select the following DLLs:

• Leadtools.dll
• Leadtools.Wia.dll
• Leadtools.Codecs.dll
• Leadtools.Controls.WinForms.dll

Make sure Form1 is in design view. Go to the toolbox (View->Toolbox) and Drag and drop an instance of ImageViewer to the form. If you do not have ImageViewer in your toolbox, select Tools->Choose Toolbox Items from the menu. Click Browse and then select Leadtools.Controls.WinForms.DLL from the "LEADTOOLS 19\Bin\DotNet4\Win32" folder and then click Open and then click OK.

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:

            Imports Leadtools
            Imports Leadtools.Wia
            Imports Leadtools.Codecs
            Imports Leadtools.Controls.WinForms
            

            using Leadtools;
            using Leadtools.Wia;
            using Leadtools.Codecs;
            using Leadtools.Controls.WinForms;
            

Declare the following private variable:

            Private WithEvents session As WiaSession
            

            private WiaSession session;
            

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

            Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
               Try
                  session = new WiaSession
                  session.Startup(WiaVersion.Version1)
               Catch ex As Exception
                  MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
               End Try
            End Sub
            

            private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
            {
               try
               {
                  session = new WiaSession();
                  session.Startup(WiaVersion.Version1);
               }
               catch (Exception ex)
               {
                  MessageBox.Show(this, ex.Message);
               }
            }
            

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

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

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

Add the below code to handle the AcquireEvent event:

            Private Sub session_AcquireEvent(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As WiaAcquireEventArgs) Handles session.AcquireEvent
              If Not e.Image Is Nothing Then
                 RasterImageViewer1.Image = e.Image
              End If
            End Sub
            

            private void session_AcquireEvent(object sender, WiaAcquireEventArgs e)
            {
              if (e.Image != null)
              {
                 rasterImageViewer1.Image = e.Image;
              }

            Private Sub btnAcquire_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAcquire.Click
               Try
                  session.Acquire(Me, Nothing, WiaAcquireFlags.ShowUserInterface Or WiaAcquireFlags.UseCommonUI)
               Catch ex As Exception
                  MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
               End Try

            {
               try
               {
                  session.AcquireEvent += new EventHandler<WiaAcquireEventArgs>(session_AcquireEvent);
                  session.Acquire(this, null, WiaAcquireFlags.ShowUserInterface | WiaAcquireFlags.UseCommonUI);
               }
               catch (Exception ex)
               {

                  session.SelectDeviceDlg(Me, WiaDeviceType.Default, WiaSelectSourceFlags.NoDefault)
               Catch ex As Exception
                  MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
               End Try
