Merit who deserve merit: Initially I didn't write the following code, I'm not sure who initially did it, may be was written by symbol developers...I'm not sure, I only have used it.
1- First at all download and install the Motorola EMDK, after that, you will copy the C:\Program Files (x86)\Motorola EMDK for .NET\v2.5\SDK\Smart Devices\Symbol.Barcode.dll file to \My Device\Windows folder in your pocket.
Public Class frmTest
Dim MyReader As Symbol.Barcode.Reader = Nothing
Dim MyReaderData As Symbol.Barcode.ReaderData = Nothing
Dim MyEventHandler As System.EventHandler = Nothing
Dim MyHandlerCB As System.EventHandler = Nothing
Private Sub frmTest_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
InitReader()
End Sub
Protected Overloads Overrides Sub OnClosing(ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs)
StopRead()
Me.TermReader()
MyBase.OnClosing(e)
End Sub
Private Function InitReader() As Boolean
' If reader is already present then fail initialize
If Not (Me.MyReader Is Nothing) Then
Return False
End If
'Create new reader, first available reader will be used.
Me.MyReader = New Symbol.Barcode.Reader
'Create reader data
Me.MyReaderData = New Symbol.Barcode.ReaderData( _
Symbol.Barcode.ReaderDataTypes.Text, _
Symbol.Barcode.ReaderDataLengths.DefaultText)
' create event handler delegate
Me.MyEventHandler = New System.EventHandler(AddressOf MyReader_ReadNotify)
'Enable reader, with wait cursor
Me.MyReader.Actions.Enable()
Return True
End Function
Private Sub TermReader()
'If we have a reader
If Not (Me.MyReader Is Nothing) Then
'Disable reader, with wait cursor
Me.MyReader.Actions.Disable()
'free it up
Me.MyReader.Dispose()
' Indicate we no longer have one
Me.MyReader = Nothing
End If
' If we have a reader data
If Not (Me.MyReaderData Is Nothing) Then
'Free it up
Me.MyReaderData.Dispose()
'Indicate we no longer have one
Me.MyReaderData = Nothing
End If
End Sub
Private Sub StartRead()
'If we have both a reader and a reader data
If Not ((Me.MyReader Is Nothing) And (Me.MyReaderData Is Nothing)) Then
'Submit a read
AddHandler MyReader.ReadNotify, Me.MyEventHandler
Me.MyReader.Actions.Read(Me.MyReaderData)
End If
End Sub
Private Sub StopRead()
'If we have a reader
If Not (Me.MyReader Is Nothing) Then
'Flush (Cancel all pending reads)
RemoveHandler MyReader.ReadNotify, Me.MyEventHandler
Me.MyReader.Actions.Flush()
End If
End Sub
Private Sub MyReader_ReadNotify(ByVal o As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim TheReaderData As Symbol.Barcode.ReaderData = Me.MyReader.GetNextReaderData()
'If it is a successful read (as opposed to a failed one)
If (TheReaderData.Result = Symbol.Results.SUCCESS) Then
'Handle the data from this read
Me.HandleData(TheReaderData)
'Start the next read
Me.StartRead()
End If
End Sub
Private Sub HandleData(ByVal TheReaderData As Symbol.Barcode.ReaderData)
txtBarCode.Text = TheReaderData.Text
End Sub
Private Sub txtBarCode_GotFocus(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtBarCode.GotFocus
StartRead()
End Sub
Private Sub txtBarCode_LostFocus(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtBarCode.LostFocus
StopRead()
End Sub
End Class

You want to scan barcodes and insert them into textboxes from your app?
Try to enable Data Wedge from Control Panel.
