Apologies in advance - Iam 'relatively' new to the forum. I have trawled the net for advice, but come up with nothing that solves my problem.
I have a Symbol LS2208 Barcode reader and want to use it in a simple vb.net application. I dont want to use it in keyboard mode as I dont want to have to manage the focus of a textbox.
I am on windows 7 64 bit. I am using Visual Basic 2010. I have downloaded the MS POS of .net 1.12 and referenced the application to the MicrosoftPointOfService.dll. I have
Imports
Microsoft.PointOfService and system.collections. I have tried to download the OPOS from Symbol - was sure if I have the right one or it is in the right place. Alot seem to be for 32bit systems.
DimscannerList = explorer.GetDevices(DeviceType.Scanner)
ForEachitemAsDeviceInfoInscannerList
TextBox1.Text = item.ServiceObjectName
gives
STI_SCANNER
STI_USBSCANNER - so there seems to be some connection occuring
Can anyone help me proceed?
PS iam using the VB express edition
Is there another barcode scanner that is easier/more directly compatible with POS 1.12?
