Example

This C#/VB.NET code shows how to save values of current device capabilities to a file.

VB.NET


''' <summary>
''' Saves the device capability collection to a file.
''' </summary>
Public Shared Sub SaveDeviceCapabilityCollection(device As Vintasoft.Twain.Device)
    ' open the device
    device.Open()
    ' open file
    Using fs As New System.IO.FileStream("scanner-capabilities.xml", System.IO.FileMode.Append, System.IO.FileAccess.Write)
        ' save the device capability collection to a file
        device.Capabilities.Save(fs)
    End Using
End Sub


/// <summary>
/// Saves the device capability collection to a file.
/// </summary>
public static void SaveDeviceCapabilityCollection(Vintasoft.Twain.Device device)
{
    // open the device
    device.Open();
    // open file
    using (System.IO.FileStream fs = new System.IO.FileStream("scanner-capabilities.xml", System.IO.FileMode.Append, System.IO.FileAccess.Write))
    {
        // save the device capability collection to a file
        device.Capabilities.Save(fs);
    }
}
