Barcode reader?

[kank]

I would like to do the application that accept the reading from Barcode scanner. What barcode scanner I should use? And, vb.net can support on that and work well?


Appreciate your help.

I have barcode scanner, that is quite configurable. It reads a barcode then writes it into Windows and hits enter. This way your program could have a textbox focused and a barcode scanner to scan for the barcode, and once it hits enter barcode is scanned. I think all barcode scanners, that will write the barcode into Windows (just like, SendKeys.Send style) would work for you.

Mostly all generic barcode scanner work like a USB keyboard. So just show your form set focus to the proper field.
