Little proble while scanning barcode !!!

[naimish_hit]

Hi,
​

​

I am trying to implement barcode functionality on my device (Sumbol MC70), I am using,
​

• VS 2005​
• Compact FW 2.0​
• Symbol SDK 1.5 for .NET​
• Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK​

I have referred Symbol developers guide and created a device application but its throwing NullReference error on Sysmbol.Barcode.ReaderDAta object creation line !!! I have marked that line with Red color in below code.
​

​

following is my code, Please someone have a look and let me know what I am missing:
​

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Forms;

private Symbol.Barcode.ReaderData symReaderData = null;

public frmBarcodeScanning()

{

InitializeComponent();

}

private void menuItem1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

this.Close();

}

private void barcode1_OnStatus11(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Symbol.Barcode.BarcodeStatus barcodeStatus = objReader.GetNextStatus();

label2.Text += barcodeStatus.Text;

}

private void barcode1_OnRead11( object sender, EventArgs e)

{

System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(symReaderData.Text, "HelloScan");

this.ReadData();

return;

//try

//{

// switch (symReaderData.Result)

// {

// case Symbol.Results.SUCCESS:

// listBox1.Items.Add("Barcode Device: " + symReaderData.Source.ToString());

// listBox1.Items.Add("Data Read: " + symReaderData.Text.ToString());

// listBox1.Items.Add("------------------");

// this.ReadData();

// break;

// default:

// listBox1.Items.Add("No data was read.");

// listBox1.Items.Add("Status of Read: " + symReaderData.Result.ToString());

// listBox1.Items.Add("------------------");
