Reading Bar code input in to a text box

6
Can anybody give me the code in VB .Net that will read bar code reader input in to a text box.

I know that Bar code reader acts like a Key board wedge. If I have a text box with focus on it and use a scanner to scan a item will it automatically show the text in the text box - do I need to write any special code for it?

Thanks.

If the barcoder's interface truely acts like a keyboard, then having the focus in a textbox should be all you need to do.
That sounds like a pretty cool barcode reader actually.

Sometimes you need to program your scanner to send a CR after each scan to make your app more "hands free". But that's scanner programming, not anything your app needs to do.
