Does anyone know why OpenNetCF removed the barcodescanner class?

It seems the OpenNetCF group have taken on the view that they are going to
remove functionality that is not in the full .Net framework... This includes
things like activebackcolors on their buttonEx, which still exists, but has
an obsolete warning behind it, and your barcode stuff.
Not sure I agree with the concept, but you can always download the earlier
source and merge them yourself.

It was removed becasue it caused far more "support" requests than utility.
It's specifically for barcode scanners from Socket Communications yet many
people seemed to think it would work for everything else too. We felt it
simply caused too much confusion.

Hi Chris,
IMO it was great, I used it and right now I'm runnning around 8 devices with
it and no a single problem ever !!!
I do remember I had to do a little change though, a loop in the init
section but other than that it rock !!!

Ignacio,
I'm glad you found it useful. However, as Chris pointed out, we got too many
confused requests about the component and decided to remove it (it was
marked as obsolete in SDF 1.1 and subsequently removed in SDF 1.2).
The code itself is still compatible with the current SDF so there's nothing
stopping you from compiling the code into a stand-alone assembly and using
it in your applications.
Thanks
Neil
