Using BarCode Scanner machine in C# Application

[rupendra chaudhary]

Has anyone had experience with using bar codes with C#. I have a client
who wants to read a bar code with a POS.They already have barcode
scanner. but what will I need from a C# programmers perspective to read
in the results of the
scan? How do I get result of scanner and then use it in my code?

Hello rupendra,

Scaner usually read data as string, keeps it in clipboard and paste it in
active editbox or whatever it active
For example, if u open notepad and scan smth in notepad u will see the number
smth like is "12343412431431" - it's barcode

Hi,

I have used Symbol, Socket and another one that do not remember the name.

It's extremely easy to use, Symbol provide a complete SDK completed with
example of how to use it. For sockets I used the implementation from
opennetcf.org

I would go with Symbol, if you have the option.

Hi,

I have never used those, get in contact with the vendor and see what kind of
dev tools they provide.

IIRC it's common to send the scanned data as it was coming from the
keyboard.
