WIA devices

In This Topic

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

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

/// <summary>
/// Opens WIA device manager and displays information about available WIA image scanners.
/// </summary>
void GetWiaDevicesInfo()
{
    // create WIA device manager
    using (Vintasoft.WiaImageScanning.WiaDeviceManager deviceManager = new Vintasoft.WiaImageScanning.WiaDeviceManager())
    {
        // open device manager
        deviceManager.Open();

        Vintasoft.WiaImageScanning.WiaDeviceCollection devices = deviceManager.Devices;
        // for each WIA 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 WIA device manager and displays information about available WIA image scanners.
''' </summary>
Private Sub GetWiaDevicesInfo()
    ' create WIA device manager
    Using deviceManager As New Vintasoft.WiaImageScanning.WiaDeviceManager()
        ' open device manager
        deviceManager.Open()

        ' get count of WIA devices
        Dim deviceCount As Integer = deviceManager.Devices.Count
        If deviceCount = 0 Then
            System.Console.WriteLine("Devices are not found.")
            Return
        End If

        Dim devices As Vintasoft.WiaImageScanning.WiaDeviceCollection = deviceManager.Devices
        ' for each WIA 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
