Dear All,

Please I need help from my folks the on  codes to do that (reading barcode) , or both(generating and reading) ,  either dll or complete source.

Note:
-  The project is a job, i will recieve something for,  so we can talk about yours too (cos awoof dey tear pocket)
-  Can come in either in  VB.net or c#.net


Longing for positive response from you folks.
Thanks

Hummm ,  You can get some .net Classes that do that .Search the net for them . Thou you would have to buy them or if you are looking for a free solution then maybe SourceForge has something interesting in store for you .

barcodes can be misterious sometimes, but a carefull look at the barcode system sort of demistifies the whole lot. creating and reading barcode is quite easy for a programmer regardless your language.

let me focus on reading barcodes, to read a bar like you know you need a barcode reader, now the problem wit barcode reader is that programmers often wonder if the read text would be displayed on the control with the focus automatically with no code interfacing. Well the answer is yes, earlier barcode devices or scanners were dificult to incomperate into software because of lenghty code, the thing is these devices lacked something.

What did they lack? There is a device known as a wedge, it is rendered as either a hardware or a software, the wedge device acts as an interface between the barcode and the system converting hits from the barcode as if it were inputs frm the keyboard and tricks the computer to accept input from the barcode as if someone was typing the text on the key board, also at the end of the text read the wedge passes the enter key to the system allowing for automatic processing of the read barcode text. The good news is that you could purchase a barcode that comes integrated with a wedge device all in one, just check or ask the purchaser for that kind of barcode reader, or if your are supplied with a barcode already without a wedge device you could download the software (google it) and install on your client system better yet you can bootsrap the wedge sofware with your application .exe file for easy deploy, in my own opinion you dont need lenghty code or abstract classes just to read input from a barcode, hope ill get my cut if this works.lol
