Accessing a scanner programmatically

Can you point me toward info about accessing a scanner from my code?
I searched the docs and found nothing.
I expect there is a class or win32 API that does most of the work but can
find nothing.

Thanks in advance for any help

Scanner uses 2 interfaces:

- TWAIN: C-oriented
- WIA (Windows 98 and above): scriptable. Use this one.

See:

WIA Scripting and .NET

Thanks

I've already downloaded three examples, VB TWAIN, C# TWAIN and a WIA, but
didn't know which to use.

I'll check out the site you suggested now.

Thanks
