I’m sorry that I haven’t continued my WIA series yet. I have been quite busy with my classes this quarter. Ill try an get some time in this weekend to work on the next article, so I might be able to get it posted next week some time.
Next week’s article should cover setting properties for your scanner including DPI and switching between color and black and white modes as well as getting other information from the scanner.
Update: Ill be getting to the new WIA article in short oder. This last quarter was very busy so I apologize for taking so long.
Windows Image Acquisition is a platform for accessing images from cameras, scanners, and webcams. Recently I’ve been working on a project that involves a scanner. As it turns out for basic use WIA is very easy to use, however once you attempt to do more advanced things the friendly resources begin to dwindle leaving you with the cold emotionlessness of MSDN. However, this being my first major project I refused to give up and finally found out how to do almost everything I wanted to do. In this post, the first of this series, I’ll talk about acquiring an image from a flatbed scanner.

So I thought before I get to posting anything ground breaking (ok I might be getting a bit ahead of my self) I thought I would bore everybody with this completely useless and utterly dull post. Semi-recently I began using C#. I have really began to enjoy using it if anything because of how tightly it is integrated with Visual Studio 2008 (my current IDE of choice) and MSDN. That is not to say that it would replace other languages for me but that I prefer the ease of programing in C#. I still love PHP and with php.net I have a great resource at my fingertips much like how MSDN complements my work in C#. However for Windows focused programing I find my self preferring C# over C++ due to the ease of producing useful code quickly. This is in no way saying I dislike C++… it was my first real programing language (sorry PHP but you’re still just a scripting language) and thanks to learning how to use it I am able to be as productive as I am in C#, I just wish I knew of more quality resources for programing in C++.
Well cheers everyone thats all I got for you today. Come back in a bit when Ill attempt to write an introduction to WIA in C#.
