I have 2 bar code scanner one usb and the other ps2 connected to 1 PC and working with 1 text box. Now I want to distinguish between scanners and determine which one is sending data to my text box.

Can everyone help me with a code or advise in c#?

Thank you

Without knowing what the barcode scanners are any answer will be a guess but my guess is that any API to access a barcode scanner will differ based on model/maker/interface or the scanner ID should be available from the API supplied by the manufacturer.

So really it is a matter of looking at what information is available via the API interface to determine which scanner provided the information.
