title: access WIA/TWAIN from .NET web application
body: <p>We are developing C#.NET web application, which MUST have possibility to connect to front-end user's scanner, webcam or sign-pad (<a href="http://www.signotec.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.signotec.com/</a>) device and execute their actions. This should be embedded with browser.</p>
  
  <p>AS far as I know it's possible with Java, AIR, Silverlight4 (it's still beta). </p>
  
  <p>What do you prefer it's best solution to achieve that. Front-end users can be limited to use Windows, but it should be browser independent (if there is not any simple cross browser solution, it can also be limited to IE7+) </p>
  
  <p>I just read 
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/956158/wia-through-web-browser-asp-net">WIA through web browser - ASP.NET</a>
  and I hope there is something NEW out there ;)</p>
  
  <p>What about Google Gears? I read that they will not continue to develop it :(</p>
