TwainManager Class

The TwainManager class is used to control which version of TWAIN is used by DotTwain.

TWAIN 2.x (twaindsm.dll) will be used by default if it exists on the system, otherwise TWAIN version 1.x (twain_32.dll) is used. Some drivers will not work with TWAIN 2.x, such as WIA drivers. To use these drivers you can force DotTwain to use version 1.x by setting the ForceTwain1xBehavior property to true before creating an instance of Acquisition or TwainController.
