i need in visual basic to connect it with the barcode reader scanner for reading that spasipic barcode.?
and after that send it into sql server data base.
Best answer:
almost all barcode readers act as a keyboard device.
when you scan, a string of characters will be entered as if you typed on the keyboard.
Capture this information in a text box and you can process it however you want.

Visual Basic 6 keyPress not reading characters?
I’m reading in a string from a bar code scanner, I want to capture every character as it comes in, one at a time. It comes in so fast I can’t capture anything. Any ideas on how to slow down the string coming in? Use a buffer of some sorts?
Sorry, I should of mentioned. This is reading into a text box. The text box can be populated by keying in numbers or scanning a barcode which populates with numbers. Keying in numbers by hand seems to work fine, scanning a barcode does not, does not capture the numbers.
Best answer:
Reading a barcode value always needs a textbox. What is the use of Keypress event… No use.
Normally if you created a textbox and set the focus to it before firing the barcode scanner you’ll get the return data in your textbox instantly.
