How to Integrate Hardware?

Question

Hi!

I am doing final year project on Attendance base security system. I wanted to make a software in C#.net using biometric finger scan device and camera. I just know these hardwares have some API`s or SDK but not know how I can operate these devices with my software? What concepts and topics I need to cover? What should I need to do?

Thanks for help.

But the question is what is Device Documentation? And from where I can get Device Documentation ?

You need the hardware and device drivers and documentation of how to use the device drivers. Or you need to find the .Net classes and/or Windows API for those devices but I doubt that there is anything in Windows special for those devices. If Windows does have something then the documenttion for the devices should say something about it so the first step is to get some device documenation.
