Hi,
I just acquired a new usb barcode scanner and I want to implement some advanced functionality into a asp.net web app with sql databases. The barcode scanner works great for reading in barcode item numbers. However, I want to use the scanner to be read in a barcode item number and have it dynamically pull up that item. (Think similar to library software, where a librarian reads in the book barcode and it automagically pulls up the book item info and the item can then be checked in or out.)

What language would I use and how would I add this function? ANY resources, suggestions, books, etc. would be helpful!!!

Can't say I have ever messed with barcodes never had a reason too. Hope this is a little help anyway.

Take care
