.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Compact Framework / June 2007Fujitsu iPad 100-20 scanner
My application needs to make use of the built-in scanner on the iPad. I'd rather not use a keyboard wedge (or scanwedge). The application will be written in CE .NET 2003 targeted for compact framework 1.0. I downloaded "barcode scanners netcf.msi" because it sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. The problem is that I cannot find symbol.barcode.dll and related files. Christian Forsberg's article about this mentions that it should be downloaded from the vendor and many search results reference devcenter.symbol.com. However, Motorola now manages the site and I cannot find the files anywhere on the site! The site's internal search returns nothing for "symbol.barcode.dll". So I have 2 questions: 1. Does Christian's barcode scanner solution sound like the right one for my application? 2. Can someone help me find symbol.barcode.dll and related files? Thanks, Kathi I don't follow. You're not using a Symbol device! Why would you expect their SDK to include a namespace specific to Symbol? You need the documentation for what you actually downloaded...

That's a chip or a set of chips that are built onto someone else's hardware. How you talk to them doesn't necessarily match how Symbol-branded devices work. Again, you have a barcode control download from the company that built the system; their documentation should lead you in how to use it... Paul T. > On Jun 28, 12:40 pm, "Paul G.

That's why I was searching this group and found what I did download from download.microsoft.com/.../barcode scanners netcf.msi. So, what *do* they provide? An unmanaged library? *Any* method other than keyboard wedging? If not, that's probably the only way to use it... Paul T. > On Jun 28, 1:16 pm, "Paul G.

My app is written in .NET 2005 so I was hoping to find a managed solution. Sigh. I suppose I'll have to create a COM object or OCX from the code I do have and call it from Javascript. Thanks for your indulgence. I'm new at this. > They provide a "native" code library (Microsoft eMbedded C++, I > think). My app is written in .NET 2005 so I was hoping to find a > managed solution.

Just P/Invoke the native library from your managed code and be done with it.
