This class contains basic information (Image, Template) about the fingerprint that is used by SourceAFIS to perform template extraction and fingerprint matching. If you need to attach application-specific information to Fingerprint object, inherit from this class and add fields as necessary. Fingerprint objects can be grouped in Person objects.

This class is designed to be easy to serialize in order to be stored in binary format (BLOB) in application database, binary or XML files, or sent over network. You can either serialize the whole object or serialize individual properties. You can set some properties to nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) to exclude them from serialization.
