hi there, can anyone give me an idea on how i can read the contents of a barcode using a barcode scanner using c sharp? because i want to create an application where i can read the contents of a specific barcode and view its contents. thanks.

If you are using a barcode scanner usually the scanner itself will translate the physical barcode into a stream of numbers.

From there depending on type of barcode scanner it will bring the information in through a comm port or will simply emulate a keyboard and type it into the focus of the cursor. Hope that helps.
