Did you read the documentation for your scanner? Did you look at any example programs provided by the manufacturer? Did you search for other questions asking the exact same thing and read the answers there?

Solution 1

1. Attach the bar code scanner to the PC
2. Install any drivers that were provided by the bar code scanner vendor
3. Start your application
4. Ensure that the cursor is in the TextBox where you want the barcode
5. Point the bar code scanner at the barcode and press the scan trigger

plz provide any example...

An example of what? I gave you the steps to follow.

You don't have to write any code. The bar code scanner "simulates" the keyboard and will put the bar code value in the TextBox in which the cursor resides.

how can we retrict the barcode for specific textbox? I mean scanner should put the barcode only on a specific textbox of the form not on the other elements.

The barcode puts the scanned text in the textbox where the cursor is located.

what i am asking is scanner should not put the barcode on other elements ..there should be only one textbox in the form which should accept barcode.. not others.

Yes, that would be a prudent way to design. Only one textbox means only one place to put the results of the barcode scan. No chance for user error.
