This document summarizes how to retrieve images from a scanner or camera using Bytescout Scan SDK for .NET in Visual Basic.NET. It demonstrates transferring images from TWAIN and WIA compatible devices by handling the TransferFinished event, which returns an array of image objects. The code samples show how to display the images in tabs by adding them to PictureBoxes and setting the tab text. It also provides an example of saving scanned images to files in a specified folder.
