I have a code, but WIA 2.0 is not supported to duplex scanning, not supported to some OS and also some scanner devices.

So I just want to help, Is there is any clue or any pros and cons of WIA 2.0.
Please try to understand me and approve this question.

Thanks.

public ImageFile Scan()
{
ImageFile image;

try
{
CommonDialog dialog = new CommonDialog();

image = dialog.ShowAcquireImage(
WiaDeviceType.ScannerDeviceType,
WiaImageIntent.ColorIntent,
WiaImageBias.MaximizeQuality,
WIA.FormatID.wiaFormatJPEG,
true,
true,
false);

return image;
}
catch (COMException ex)
{
if (ex.ErrorCode == -2145320939)
{
throw new ScannerNotFoundException();
}
else
{
throw new ScannerException("COM Exception", ex);
}
}
}

Before detecting scanner device and after select device from detected device list dialog box getting COM exception. What should I need to do.

Hello,

Check whether the WIA service is running and the PC user has necessary permissions to use a COM component.

Yes, WIA service is running on my system, there is no issue. How to give permission to PC user to use a COM component.

Hello member,

WIA 2.0 which was released with Vista offer support for legacy WIA 1.0 (Windows-XP) applications and devices through a WIA 1.0 to WIA 2.0 compatibility layer provided by the WIA service.

The MSDN WIA article (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms630368(v=vs.85).aspx) describes in details the benefits offered by WIA.

As far as support for scanners is concerned it's the scanner manufacturer responsibility to provide the WIA compliant driver's.

I already gone through MSDN WIA article (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms630368(v=vs.85).aspx). So what should I need to do WIA Scanning in WPF C# application.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2709992
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/264598

Above links are list of supported scanner devices and WIA 2.0 does not support duplex scan.

Is there any way to implement WIA Scanning in C# wpf ( which is support suplex scan and run on all 32 and 64bit OS ).

Hello,

Have you tried ScanWia (https://scanwia.codeplex.com/)? This (http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/629608/WIA-Scanning-for-Neatdesk) CP answer is for different scanner but you can definitely try.

Yes, This project has no releases (no source code). But I have downloaded from source code section and trying to run on VS2012 but getting errors. Error message not shown in English. It shows in diff language.

Member 9197067 17-Nov-15 7:47am

Hello,
ScanWia (https://scanwia.codeplex.com/) code does not work, scanner device did not detect and gives an error. So can you please give another solution for WIA C# dupleax scanning in WPF.

Thanks,

Hello,

You may have came across these links, if not then please have a look. Personally I do not have a scanner with duplex capability, So I was not able to verify this.

Hello,

Yes, I gone through it, but there is no idea how to use WIA_IPS_DOCUMENT_HANDLING_SELECT property. How to use nativev WIA2.0 in c# application? I already search on the web there is no idea about native wia.
WIA is not good to use for scanning. I need twins compatible WIA scanning in c#.
