WIFI support and Scanning together

[Harsh]

Hello everybody,

1) How to have 802.11 connectivity along with scanning
(bar code) ability?

2) It seems there are are dual slots available from
Symbol for iPAq and compaq itself for iPaq. But do they
have support for .net compact framework.
http://www.racoindustries.com/symsps3000.htm
is there a work around?

3) Symbol's dual slot, SPC
a. Symbol SPS 3000 SDK available to support bar code
scanning. Does it mean i have to write a wrapper around
SDK to use in compact framework?

b. it also says Fully compatible with Microsoft SDK for
Pocket PCs. Does it mean support only for EVB / EVC and
not for compact framework?


4) Is it possible to give hardware independent WIFI and
SCANNING (bar code) together solution for an application
developed in .net compact framework?


5) Can OpenNet.cf library for bar code scanning (for
Socket scanner), be used from this Dual Slot option?

6) Is there any solution avaialable for supporting bar code
scanning from compact framework + opennetCF librabry for
socket IN HAND TYPE scanner? (And apart from Symbol of
course). I do not want to writer wrappers around eVB code.
With this either solution becomes specific to SOCKET
scanner + ipAq dual slot OR Symbol PDA. I want avoid this



Any help will be appreciated.

How many times are you going to do this?!?!

1) ON WHAT DEVICE?

2) If the device is Pocket PC, it supported .NET CF, yes.

3)
a. If they don't also provide an API for .NET CF use, yes, you have to write
a wrapper or not control barcode scanning from code (if the barcodes come in
as keyboard input, for example, you don't have to do anything to receive
them; they look like keyboard input).

b. It means just exactly what it says. It's compatible with those SDKs.

....

I have a great idea: IF YOUR QUESTION CONCERNS A SYMBOL PRODUCT, CALL
SYMBOL! IF IT CONCERNS SOME OTHER DEVICE, TELL US WHAT DEVICE!!!!

Harsh, we are doing a project right now with a Symbol 8000 series Pocket PC
Scanner. The first one they shipped us had PPC2002 on it so we sent it back
and got the latest version with Pocket PC 2003 including .NET CF.

Their website has .NET examples that have already done the wappers for their
scanner drivers making development pretty straight forward.
