Mr. Mahesh Patel 18-Feb-13 7:25am

Yes dear, I am in this field since 2.6 years.
See my company detail on www.mantratec.com

Deenuji 18-Feb-13 8:01am

thank u alot sir....but what is my question means how to access this dll file to my application and how to initialize this nitgen to my program...coz my mind is blank when i think about this project....so can u give some sample program for related this project???

Mr. Mahesh Patel 18-Feb-13 8:24am

sorry dear,
I can not give you any example because it is opposite of company rules.
and i dont know that what is the version of nitgen you are using, and may be this version is not available to me.

for that you have to do self practice by learning nitgen example coming with sdk.

and believe me that this is very easy task.
Best ok luck

i am facing the same problem

Deenuji 18-Feb-13 8:36am

i'm using nitgen fingkey hamster hfdu01-1(basic model) ....i ve sample coding but it doesnt give any coding scanning image....all coding only for verification ....no one coding scanning image from this device....so only asking...so give some idea...

Mr. Mahesh Patel 18-Feb-13 8:40am

when you verify image that means one image is stored into database or in any variable
and other is captured from device at a time.
Please check demo code carefully.

Deenuji 18-Feb-13 8:43am

sir actually they didn't capture the image...am only giving two image as input for verify...so there is no coding for scanning image from device...

hello Mahesh/Deenuji,

Even I am facing the same Issue.
Currently I am able to retrieve and verify using textEncodeFIR but I want to display the retrieved image to the user, pls help me.

Mr. Mahesh Patel 27-Sep-14 1:11am

Dear 10028727,

Please note below information for the format you are using.
1. FIR : Finger Image Record, Can not display in photo viewer, you have to use special tool for that.
2. FMR (ISO Format) : Finger Minutiae Record, can not display in photo viewer.
3. Raw Image : Image of finger without header, can not display in photo viewer.
4. BMP/JPG/PNG : Image can display in photo viewer
5. WSQ Image: Wavelet Scalar Quantization image can not be display in photo viewer.

I thinks this information is enough to understand all biometric format related to fingerprint.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.

Mani2445 3-Jun-15 2:22am

Always use "Improve Solution" option to edit and update your solution. as posting multiple solutions for a single question is also against the CodeProject Norms.

@Mr.Mahesh patel

Mr. Mahesh Patel 29-Sep-14 7:40am

Your approach should towards finding mistakes and errors on code not in post.
Try to help people in "Code", not in "how to post".
And one more thing you have to note that sometimes we are improving solution, but user's eyes is not staying further in that answer because previous they have already read that answer and they are not satisfied with previous answer. They are ignoring old post to read and always seeking for new answer.

@Mr. VICK

VICK 30-Sep-14 0:11am

dn what is the benefit and purpose of providing "Improve Solution" kind of options on the CP and defined rules???

& when it comes to "My Approach", do have a look at my profile and work on CP in my membership time span which is only 1.5 year which is much more than yours of almost 5years.

@Mr.Mahesh

Mr. Mahesh Patel 30-Sep-14 0:50am

Look, Mr. VICK,
I don't want to waste my time in fighting with you.
Because time is money for me.
If you have a better solution of question then post here. Do not discuss any other matter over here.

VICK 2-Oct-14 2:40am

If you have used reply option against my comment. I would have get the notification.
Well I am not here to fight as well. We all are here to help and get helped.
But following the norms/rules is one's ethical responsibility as well.

hi dear,

If you are using nitgen finger print device, that means you have obviously sdk of nitgen.

You have to first of all install device driver provided with sdk.

now you have to import dll of sdk into your system and also put it dependent dll into system32/system(Wow).

now getting image from device, you have to call the sdk methods in sequence like below.

1. init sensor
2. capture image from sensor
3. uninit sensor.

if you want to verify this image, then you have to convert it into template.
Because image can not matched, but template can matched.

See the demo example provided with sdk for more information.
