Nitheesh, Please note that bar code is no special thing other than representing characters in bars.
You can use a font called bar code font that represents characters as bars. A free version is available to download at www.idautomation.com The barcode device connected to a computer reads the barcode, and writes its equivalent numbers at current cursor position. If you cursor is in a text item in a forms it will display the numbers there, if you cursor is in a text editor like notepad it will write the numbers there. As if it was typed in through a keyboard. Now if you set the font of the field to the barcode font, these characters will be displayed as a barcode. Both forms and reports support barcode font. HTH!
