HI there. thnks for replying. I have both the codes for C# and VB. I prefer using VB as it is easier. This is part of the sample code. Theres a lot of things that i dont understand and i dont know where or how to start. Im a student and im supposed to do this for my project. Im not a programmer btw. So im really really lost. Hope there are peeps out there willing to help. Private Sub BtnCapture1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnCapture1.Click Di() m fp_image() As Byte Dim iError As Int32 Dim img_qlty As Int32 ReDim fp_image(m_ImageWidth * m_ImageHeight) iError = m_FPM.GetImage(fp_image) If iError = FDxError.ERROR_NONE Then DrawImage(fp_image, pictureBoxR1) m_FPM.GetImageQuality(m_ImageWidth, m_ImageHeight, fp_image, img_qlty) progressBar_R1.Value = img_qlty iError = m_FPM.GetMinutiae(fp_image, m_RegMin1) If (iError = FDxError.ERROR_NONE) Then StatusBar.Text = "First image is captured" Else StatusBar.Text = "GetMinutiae() Error : " + Convert.ToString(iError) End If Else StatusBar.Text = "GetImage() Error : " + Convert.ToString(iError) End If End Sub
