SUMMARY

The discussion centers on using a console application in VB.NET 3.5 to interface with Falcon Barcode Scanners. Users typically treat barcode scanners as keyboard input devices, allowing scanned data to be captured directly. The participant seeks to develop a custom application using Visual Studio 2008 to manage the scanned data effectively. It is confirmed that a console application can be utilized for this purpose, although the participant lacks experience in creating such applications.

Anyone familiar with BarCode scanners? I have four of them I want use with my app.

Can a console (custom) app be used to load/save scanned data?

Aren't barcode scanners usually handled just like keyboard input?
 
Most scanners operate that way.

What I want to do is write an application (using Visual Studio 2008) to handle scanned data, etc.

Basically, I wanted to know if I create a console application project and then upload it to the scanner will that work. I've never created a console app so I'm not that versed with them.
