Default Suggestions for PocketPC SDK for 1D/2D Barcode Scanning via video/picture camera instead of dedicated add-on
For many years I have wanted a solution to a problem I have by using my PocketPC as a Barcode Scanner. Some of the latest nifty solutions I have seen lately have little applications that use the built-in Camera (in what appears to be in video mode, not still camera mode) to scan a 2D barcode, which makes a chime sound then passes a user to a web site on the PPC.

I would love to pretty much do the exact same thing except capture the image (save the barcode), display the decoded text (and write it to a text file with a time stamp) and trigger audio recording. Basically using the device for capturing a tonn of barcodes while recording audio.

Does anyone know where a good place to start for this would be? .NET (C# or VB.NET) development is my forte.

ANY suggestions or directions would be greatly appreciated!
