BAR CODE ... URGENT REALLY please!

[Harsh]

Hello everybody... I urgently require some/any/all
information/code/design that can be provided for: -

1) Bar code generation using c#.
2) Bar code scanning (any information regarding the
scanning standards and all will be appreciated).

Pardon me but i am newbie for bar code stuff...
so please waiting for positive response.

Thanks in advance.

1) There are fonts out there that do this, as well as printers that
specifically print barcodes. Your target environment is going to dictate
what you use.

2) Are you building a scanner? If not, you don't need to know anything
about this. Just pick a scanner with serial output, or a Compact Flash
connection, or a PS/2 keyboard connection, or whatever (depending on what
Windows CE device you are connecting to), and hook it up. If it plugs into
the keyboard port, the data will look just like typed data from the
keyboard. If it plugs into the serial port, you may want to get the serial
classes from OpenNetCF to get the data. If it plugs into the Compact Flash
(or PCMCIA), port, there should be an API with it to talk to.

We aren't going to be able to teach you barcoding. That's beyond the scope
of this newsgroup...

Harsh,

What type of hardware will you be using? I use CE devices manufactured by
Symbol Technologies that have integrated barcode scanners, and Symbol
provides a .Net library for using them, but there are also other
manufacturers that provide barcode scanners.

Creating a barcode on printed output is usually just a matter of specifying
a barcode font, and how you do that would depend on the particular printer.
Many portable printers have their own printer command languages that you
insert into the data stream to tell the printer what to do, but the exact
commands vary from printer to printer. A third party product called
PrinterCE supports many printers and would be a good solution if you need to
target a variety of printers.

You really don't need to know any thing about bar codes. We use the
bar code scanner from Socket, all you have to do is tap on a text box,
and do a scan. The scanned bar code info will go into the text box as
if it were typed in by keyboard.

To scan the barcode, grab a barcode reader.
To print thee barcode, get a barcode font at http://www.morovia.com/font/.
