Hello

Is there a way to read data from a particular USB barcode reader by specifying the usb port it's connected to? I want to be able to read specifically from that particular usb port.

I found this project here
A USB HID Component for C#[^]

but I am getting an error everytime i try to connect to the device because, according to them, the device is already connected or being used by another process.

Any help would be highly appreciated

It is probably in use by the Barcode device driver: Check your manual, or with the manufacturer, as you should be able to contact it via the driver, through an API of some form.

Without knowing more about the reader, I can't say anything more definite!

thank you. I didn't install any driver for the barcode reader. I just plugged it in and it worked jst like a keyboard would.

Doesn't mean there is no driver, it could use the windows keyboard driver, a generic windows driver, whatever. Talk to the manufacturers!
