Hey guys...

This is brilliant.  I have been waiting for this to start happening more and more with the PC and other electronics.  Out of curiosity if anyone has any good sources or links, I'm interested in reading up a little bit on the actual technology used in reading a fingerprint electronically and then using that with the computer.

Thank you.

Hi,

Is there anyone who can help me?

I am a C# Developer, and I am trying to interface with my Microsoft Fingerprint Reader, without having to buy any third party software, SDK’s, OCX’s etc.

Isn’t there away to interact with the device from within C#?

Please, please help!
