I want to integrate a simple USB POS barcode reader into my VB .NET app. Only
need a scan a few products per minute, nothing major. I'm not really sure
where to start, is there an SDK I need, does .NET already have an interface
for Barcode readers.

If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Dean
 
Dean-

Typically, the barcode readers are pretty easy to work with, the
characters they read come across in the same fashion as characters from a
keyboard. So, if a textbox has focus and you scan a barcode, the characters
from the scanner will show up in the textbox. Typically, the characters from
the barcode are appended with a carriage return. So, just listen for the
carriage return and you'll know when you are ready to process the scanned
barcode.
