C# - Is there any way to get the scanner name? #416

Hello

Currently developing an application in C#, I want to know if it is possible to get the scanner name like show in the image below highlighted within the brackets with the software CaptureOnTouch (Canon).

I haven't found anything in the code to retrieve the scanner name. My scanner has been tested through USB and Ethernet in both case the name doesn't show.

Thank you

If it's not part of ScanDevice.Name then there's currently no way to get it from NAPS2.

If you want you can try using NTwain (which NAPS2 uses internally) and look at the properties on the DataSource.

I have tested with NTwain, I checked the datasource but the name of the scanner is nowhere to be found, I have no idea how Canon manage to get the name.

Thank you for you help
