Did you have a look at Chapter 5 in the SANE Standard? Is it not what you
want? (If you're new to sane, you should begin with Chapter 1.) Are you
planing to implement the SANE network protocol in C#? If so, you could
announce what you are planing to do in the sane-devel and, with some luck,
someone will help you implementing it.

I'm not C# programmer, but is it not possible to link C# with a normal Win32
DLL? If so, just compile sane-backends on Windows XP and link with its
libraries.

this sounds great. but I'm still looking for a windows compatible sane DLL. Do you mean that I can just compile the sane source code in visual studio as a Win32 DLL?? I may be mistaken somewhere. I'm not familiar with linux system.

If there is a DLL that I can compile and/or install in WIndows XP and use as an API, then that's just what I want. Please let me know where I can download it as source or compiled version.

I think such a DLL will work fine with C# frontend.



BTW, there is already one SANE frontend that also works with Windows XP,
Xsane. (www.xsane.org)
