AcquireImageSync() Method (WiaDevice)
In This Topic
Synchronously acquires one image in raw format from this WIA device.
Syntax
Return Value
Current state of the image acquisition process.
Exceptions
| Exception | Description |
| WiaException | Thrown if device is not opened OR other image scanning process is already working. |
Remarks
This method must be called in a loop until method will not return null, i.e. there is no more images to scan.
Example
This C#/VB.NET code shows how to synchronously acquire images from WIA device.
