I have to develop an interface in C# for Digital camera using TWAIN. My requirement is that when Digital camera is attached to USB port then i would be able to take picture via my application(i.e. if Digital camera is in USB mode and i want to take picture at that time then my application should show only the latest snap taken by me.)

There are several articles and discussion on this topic if you google for them. Perhaps this article would be interesting: WIA Scripting and .NET[^].

Excellent link, my 5. :)

Since the OP want to use TWAIN I've provided additional links to .NET TWAIN wrappers.

Best Regards,

Mika already gave you an excellent link about WIA Scripting in .NET (which is a TWAIN alternative for Windows).
Here are some useful CodeProject articles on TWAIN:
- .NET TWAIN image scanner[^]
- Twain for WPF Applications - Look Ma, No Handles[^]

Is it possible to use WPD API for this purpose?
