Palvi Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Hi All, Can you have barcode scanning functionality in an ASP.NET application ?? If yes, then please do provide some guidance as to how I can go about this. Thanks much, - Palvi Quote
Moderators Robby Posted January 7, 2004 Moderators Posted January 7, 2004 Yes. The sacanner simply reads a sequence of characters from a barcode the same as you would type some keys on your keyboard. One aproach would be to have a textbox receive the scanned item then a button click would send it to the server for processing. The barcode is just a special font base. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=barcode+scanner+fonts Quote Visit...Bassic Software
Palvi Posted January 7, 2004 Author Posted January 7, 2004 Thanks for replying Robby, Can you possibly give me a set of instructions to build a web page that has 10 textboxes and on each scan, a textbox is populated with the appropriate barcode. What would I need to install ? Thanks, - Palvi Quote
Moderators Robby Posted January 7, 2004 Moderators Posted January 7, 2004 I think that the client browser needs the font set in order to display the barcode. You can by pass this action by simply processing the barcode on the server and never actually displaying it to the client. You can start testing the process without the use of a scanner, type in product numbers into your textbox and send it to the server for manipulation. Quote Visit...Bassic Software
