            }
            // Sleep for a while to capture the fingerprint
            Thread.Sleep(5000);
            // Access the captured fingerprint data
            byte[] capturedFingerprintData = reader.CapturedFingerprintData;

            reader.StopCapture();
            reader.CloseDevice();
            // You can now use the fingerprintData as needed

            return Json(new { status = true, message = "Fingerprint captured successfully.", data = fingerprintData });
        }
    }
}

this part has issue:

          int ret = zkfp2.AcquireFingerprint(mDevHandle, FPBuffer, CapTmp, ref cbCapTmp);

the error is :

System.AccessViolationException: 'Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.'

You may want to use this open source wrapper

Here is the usage example
