Scanning in .NET using MODI (Microsoft Office Document Imaging)

Question

I'm looking to leverage MS Office scanning functionality in my .NET application. Although I know that MODI COM objects can be accessed in .NET, I'm not sure how to make that. All I need is scanning to file and getting path of that file.

I don't need any OCR.

Answer 1

If you just need scanning, not OCR, you don't need MODI. Just use TWAIN or WIA.

Here are two codeproject articles explaining more details:

This one talks a little bit about MODI
