I have a barcode scanner but i dont know how to read information from it to my application (in C#). Can anyone help me in this problem? if have an example code, please talk it to me, thanks you very much.

 

Yeah! I know ur problem.

what type of comminication cable Your barcode reader use?
1. P/S 2: take it easy like a small keyboard
2. RS - 232: No problem - plug it to Comport and used hyperterminal to track the data from it.

data can be import through the comport and used MSComm control to read it.

 

can u provide more details for reading the data from the barcode reader into the C# application...

 

Was wondering if you got more information on how to go about this problem. Have been looking for a solution to the same problem.

There is an open source plugin for visual studio that handles this. I have already used it and it works great. However, the plugin was developed for the compact framework. Check it out anyway though.

First did u configured the Scanner... for Keyboard -Wedge

Second - Just capture the Keboard Events
Keypress and KeyDown

 

I don't find the source plugin for VS, can you post the detailed link?

Thanks for your nice resource. What I need is a c#.net barcode reader like this one but should be free, because I have no budget for this. Any suggestion?
