Hello im planning to make Barcoded ID in my system. I just dont know where to start. im also planning to buy a GENERIC Barcode reader but i dont know where to start coding.

Note: Im still a student this is not for profit or anything :) Just exploring new things.. can someone tell me any reference. This is also for VB.net use Not VB6 or any PL.

TIA.

I'd say start by getting a simple barcode font, such as IDAutomation's free 3 of 9 font and creating some images. The 3 of 9 symbology is dead simple to encode and decode (it's really just a string with asterisk delimiters), which makes it a good symbology to get your feet wet. The hardware readers are also cheap, and there are free software libraries for reading 1D barcodes.

You can use this project for an idea on how to code with code 39. (code 3 of 9)

thnx guyz.
