Hello,
I developed a small webapp and now I would like
to add a 'scan' button to a page of mine.
I would like to add a button, if an user
with a scanner clicks on it a custom twain application
(I'll develop) starts...
It's possible?
Can someone give me some hint?
I have to use Activex in VB6 or can I develop
in fully managed code?

Thanks!
M.A.

You need to get an ActiveX. It doesn't have to be in VB6. I am using one
from http://www.dynamsoft.com/Products/WebTWAIN_Overview.aspx

It can http post to the web server and supposrts https.

Cool! Thanks!

And if I would like to build my own in managed code?
It's possible?

No. The control will run on the client side where there mightn't be any
dotnet installed in the first place.
