Hi I wanted to know how can i receive an image via serial port ... i am using a r305 fingerprint module in my project for obtaining a persons fingerprint. the scanner is connected to port COM1 and properly opens and closes (so no issues there) .. I have a button and a picture box in my form.
Now the problem is such that I want to scan a persons fingerprint on the click of the button and it should display the image in the picture box.

*On the net i have found various methods to transfer byte,string etc... but not an image.
*R305 is a component ... So there is no SDK for it.

Any kind of help would be appreciated.

Akshay.

Hi christian When i purchased that scanner ... i received a SFGDemo.exe application along with it... I think that application has been developed using C#.Net. While using that application i can match,save,search fingerprints. But as i have to make changes according to my requirements I am unable to access that applications source code (i wasted a week trying to debug it). So my point here is ...if that application can display the fingerprint scanned then there might be some solution to my problem.

An image is a stream of bytes. You need to read the manual for your scanner to see what it supports, but it will involve getting a byte stream, and saving it to the file system.
