SANE devices

In This Topic

SANE device manager allows to get the device list programmatically. Device list can be obtained using SaneLocalDeviceManager.Devices property. Information about an opened device can be obtained using SaneLocalDeviceManager.OpenedDevice property.

Here is an example that demonstrates how to open SANE device manager and display information about all available SANE devices:

/// <summary>
/// Opens SANE device manager and displays information about available local SANE image scanners.
/// </summary>
void GetSaneDevicesInfo()
{
    // create SANE device manager
    using (Vintasoft.Sane.SaneLocalDeviceManager deviceManager = new Vintasoft.Sane.SaneLocalDeviceManager())
    {
        // open device manager
        deviceManager.Open();

        Vintasoft.Sane.SaneLocalDeviceCollection devices = deviceManager.Devices;
        // for each SANE device
        for (int i = 0; i < devices.Count; i++)
        {
            // output the device name
            System.Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Device '{0}'", devices[i].Name));
        }
    }
}

VB.NET

''' <summary>
''' Opens SANE device manager and displays information about available local SANE image scanners.
''' </summary>
Private Sub GetSaneDevicesInfo()
        ' create SANE device manager
        Using deviceManager As New Vintasoft.Sane.SaneLocalDeviceManager()
                ' open device manager
                deviceManager.Open()

                Dim devices As Vintasoft.Sane.SaneLocalDeviceCollection = deviceManager.Devices
                ' for each SANE device
                For i As Integer = 0 To devices.Count - 1
                        ' output the device name
                        System.Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Device '{0}'", devices(i).Name))
                Next
        End Using
End Sub
