I am fairly new to HTML/ASP programming. My experience has been hobby programming and try out things not commonly done in everyday basis.

Couple of years back I had written app in Borland C++ Builder Standard edition. This app imported Kodak Imaging Scan Control (IMGSCAN.OCX) ActiveX.

Within this app I allowed user to control scanner and allowed scanning of files and picttures.

Now I like to write same project, but would like to have Web Browser,i.e.(Internet Explorer or FireFox) as front end User Interface and prefer to use .Net / VB in backend.

What I cannot figure out is how I can introduce IMGSCAN.OCX in my web page and how can I call it's methods and update it's properties. I am looking for an example.

Also, Microsoft stopped distributing IMGSCAN.OCX with it's Windows XP. So, I am also looking for similar ActiveX that is free of charge and/or ideas of how to utilize WIA, Windows Image Acquisition?

You may send me direct e-mail to spatelone@yahoo.com

Thank you for your help.

This is a tech. problem, in search of a solution.

It properly belongs in "Technical Q&A," not in "Discussions." Please re-post there.

Not only will you be more likely to attract the attention of those seeking to provide answers, but you will also make it easier for those seeking discussions to find such.

Thank you.
