Twain VS WinTwain

Post by Fastrx »

Twain SDK has 2 Namespaces: Twain and WinTwain. I wonder what is the difference between the two, and which one to use.

Hello,
Twain SDK has 2 Namespaces: Twain and WinTwain. I wonder what is the difference between the two, and which one to use.
Vintasoft.Twain namespace is present in Vintasoft.Twain.dll assembly. Vintasoft.WinTwain namespace is present in Vintasoft.WinTwain.dll assembly.

Vintasoft.Twain.dll - .NET assembly that can be used in .NET application for Windows and Linux. This assembly uses drawing primitives from Vintasoft.Shared library.

Vintasoft.WinTwain.dll - .NET assembly that can be used in .NET application for Windows. This assembly uses drawing primitives from System.Drawing.Common library.

Vintasoft.WpfTwain.dll - .NET assembly that can be used in WPF application for Windows. This assembly uses drawing primitives from WPF library.

This information is available here: https://www.vintasoft.com/docs/vstwain- ... v14_0.html

You need to use Vintasoft.Twain.dll, Vintasoft.WinTwain.dll or Vintasoft.WpfTwain.dll depending from your application and your task.

Best regards, Alexander
