It all depends on what scanner you have, what it will be used for etc....

Have a look at these few links, might help with what you need.

Here , Here or Here .

It seems that you will either have to reference to the drivers or it will be linked to your keyboard automatically, all depends on what you have.

Correct. Once the textbox you have that must contain the barcode value, use the scanner and it will return the value into the text box.

Generally it "just works". Most USB and ps2 scanners have "keyboard wedges". They are just seen by the OS as a keyboard.
