problem with detecting Barcode with C# programming

[JustRun]

Hi all,

we are developing a C# solution that deal with barcode, and it works only one time, The problem is How should I let the software looping to read as long as the barcode-scanner takes order?

I need to know how the scanner works? and does it scan each barcode image independently and where it store them? and how can I get the image from the barcode-scanner?

Please any one provide me a solution
Thanks in advance

Since there is no specific barscanner code in .NET, you would either be using the API that came with the scanner, or it acts like a keyboard and then you would just need a textbox to have focus.

Or it would be a serial port device. Even most USB barcode scanners install as virtual com port devices. Same with bluetooth scanners.

Then comes the entire issue of "image". Not all barcode scanners use built-in cameras to produce images. The most common is still the laser type. Most of the ones that do use cameras still output the barcode number, not the image, so you generally don't have to worry about image processing.
