Barcode scanners are generally 'keyboard wedge' these days, meaning they pretty much act like a keyboard.

The only time you'd probably need to write anything to read it would be if the scanner is serial port based. But that should be easy enough in .NET 2.0 with the SerialPort object in (I think) the System.IO namespace.

Generally, I'd really recommend using a keyboard wedge type scanner - if for PS/2 based keyboards, it will have a cable to create a junction for both the scanner and the keyboard to connect to the PS/2 port. If it's USB, it's even easier - it should simply work after being connected. The bonus with the USB/keyboard wedge ones is that you can test in places like notepad if it doesn't appear to be working property.

The only thing you may need to do is configure the scanner (from the user guide) by scanning a few barcodes if it doesn't behave exactly how your application is expecting input.
