[vb.net 3.5]Console application for Falcon Barcode Scanner

AI Thread Summary
BarCode scanners typically function as keyboard input devices, allowing scanned data to be entered directly into applications. A custom console application can indeed be used to load and save this scanned data. The user is interested in developing an application using Visual Studio 2008 to manage the scanned information. However, it is important to note that console applications cannot be uploaded directly to the scanners; instead, they should be developed on a computer to process the input from the scanners. Understanding how to capture and handle keyboard input in the console application will be crucial for effectively managing the scanned data.

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.
 
Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
