Where can I find a free .Net (C#) library that I can use to scan and OCR documents?

Question

I searching for a free .Net (C#) library that iIcan use to scan from a document scanner, and then OCR the document, so I can get the text from it to save in a database.

After some search I can not find anyone working in Visual Studio 2010 and .Net 4. Someone knows any libs that works like this?
