How a scanner connects depends on the bar code scanner you will be using. The newer ones are just a standard USB connection. Older styles connected as a PS2 connection between the keyboard and the computer.
To the application they look just like you typed the data in from the keyboard (and depending on how you have configured them they can have a Return or Tab after the bar code data). My first suggestion would be to find out which scanner hardware they will be using.

One of my client wants me to integrate bar code scanner with custom app (yes its a complete custom app and we do not use even Asset Management for the inventory management for the customer). What we have as a client requirement was that the inventory data to be maintained in a regular form. Now I need to integrate bar code scanner to scan the serial number of every item from the inventory as and when it moves in or moves our from 16 different regional inventories. So now the big question is how do I go about the architecture of the bar code scanner as I don't know much about its functionality and interfaing and hence need some help here. If anyone has done anything similar or have any idea a big thanks in advance :) The system details are ARS 7406 SP2 and SQL server everything on windows Cloud environment.
