Fingerprint recognition C# winforms with regard to windows 7 tablets

I've developed a databaase inventory tracking system with a seperate interface for Windows 7 tablets (E.G. Viewsonic Viewpad 10). I have implemented fingerprint reading on the desktop, however, I would like to ask if it is possible to use the tablet touchscreen interface to read the fingerprint o开发者_运维百科ff the user? Or will I have to implement seperate fingeprint readers for the tablets?

If it is possible, how do i go about doing it? I am developing in C# winforms 64-bit. Any .net version is fine with me.

If I'm understanding your question correctly, a touch screen is different than a finger print reader. Touch screens are no where sensitive enough to read a person's finger print.

As far as a finger print reader API, you can refer to this question (which may be a bit dated). This assumes there is a proper finger print reader hooked up.

You would be better off getting hold of actual finger print reader hardware and interfacing to it via API calls, which will likely support some form of a .NET interface or wrapper.

These .net specific Q&As might be useful:

• fingerprint reader software using C#
• finger print reader for .net windows forms / WPF or silverlight client
