New Tutorial: Effortless ActiveX Twain Scanning with Atalasoft's DotTwain SDK

Abstract: In general, .NET ActiveX Wrappers are painful to build and deploy. This is because there are a large number of steps involved in the building of signed .NET ActiveX Web Applications. In order to reduce the complexity of this problem, we've created a sample solution which works out of the box. It contains a reference implementation of a UserControl which interacts with Javascript via both method calls and events. Additionally, it takes care of the entire installer and cab file building process for you.

Get the sample app and read how to develop something similar

Upcoming Events

Last Wednesday, we were chosen to be one of four Mass Innovation Nights presenters and had a great time meeting some brilliant minds. We will be exhibiting at some select SharePoint events coming up in June and July.

June 22-24 - SP Tech Con in Boston, MA
July 13-16 - Microsoft World Partner Conference in New Orleans, LA
