The BarCode Reader I used is BarCode Keyboard Wedge, when there is textbox and set focus on textbox, barcode id can display in textbox. But I need to capture the input in the background using vb.NET, anyone have idea about it? thanks

As far as I know there is only one way out: uses a RSC232 serial interface cable. Your program can sit background reading the input. Take a look at MSCOMM32 control if you have not done any serial programming yet.
