title: Use barcode scanner in VB.Net windows application
body: <p>I have a point of sale windows application in vb.net and it is working fine. But now I want to use a barcode scanner with it. But honestly I have no idea how to integrate it. I have bought a speed-x barcode scanner from the market and connected it to the laptop but its not scanning anything but weird beeps only. (the installation is fine) I thought it would automatically read and punch text into a textbox when a textbox is focused. but its not that simple I guess. any ideas or tutorial for this problem? Please note that I am a beginner level programmer and this is my first application ever. I have researched as much as I could and did not find any proper solution therefore posting my question here. </p>
