Hi @Ziddi, After some research I have come up with some ideas, which might help you get an idea of implementation. As I had already stated, there is no public API available to scan images, storing and manipulating scanned fingerprints. However, it depends on the SDKs of the manufacturer to provide such support. Please go through the following link (UPEK site with existing support SDKs) to get some more info regarding your app http://neurotechnology.com/cgi-bin/fingerprint-scanners.cgi Regards, Amresh S.

Hi @Ziddi, I understood that you are going to create a utility for attendance system with finger print censors via C#. Actually there doesn't exists any universal API for biometerics. The devices used for biometric systems have it's own SDK. What kind of Biometric devices are you supposed to use? Each kind of devices have it's own flexibility of support to create a custom app via it's SDK. Thanks & Regards, Amresh S.
