Hi,

is there some SDK to working with scanner -
telling to scan a doc and getting the currently scaned file?

TIA.

BTW, not must be dot-net, also VB6 or VC++ sample can help

If you're working with C++, find TWAIN - the most common standard for
talking with scanners for now.
http://www.twain.org/download.htm

If you're working with VB, and the scanner you're talking with is a newer
model which supports WIA, WIA is what you look for (work with COM+
automation)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wiaaut/wia/wiax/overviews/startpagewiaaut.asp

P.S.: Note that VB6 does not support callback so it is not possible to work
with TWAIN directly...
