can any one tell me plz how to connect the fingerprint reader into my windows application plz
it is really urgent and i don't know if I can do it in VS.

You can try the Pos .Net, but finding compatible hardware is a problem.

You can also look for drivers and devices that support the bioapi (www.bioapi.org) spec and see if you can write code directly against them.

Otherwise there are several third party specific SDK's that you can use. www.coding4fun.com has a sample app that uses the MS finger print reader via one of these SDK's (griaule ?). The link to the specific article is; http://blogs.msdn.com/coding4fun/archive/2007/03/06/1815291.aspx

Sadly, this is not an easy thing to do (in general), especially if you want to support a range of hardware.

Use the SDK from griaule biometrics. I've been using it for a long time and it's very good and quite robust. They have a lot of examples of how to interact with the device and they support a lot of them.

The only think i understand is what i feel..

Plug it in.  Then read the manual.
