Anyone familiar with BarCode scanners? I have four of them I want use with my app.

Can a console (custom) app be used to load/save scanned data?

Aren't barcode scanners usually handled just like keyboard input?
 
  • #3
Most scanners operate that way.

What I want to do is write an application (using Visual Studio 2008) to handle scanned data, etc.

Basically, I wanted to know if I create a console application project and then upload it to the scanner will that work. I've never created a console app so I'm not that versed with them.
