All the barcode scanners I've used have been either 'keyboard wedge' or serial types.
If it's 'keyboard wedge', then the internal software does all code validation and outputs an ASCII string that appears to come from keyboard entry, optionally followed by a user-defined terminator (usually CR)
If it's a serial type, just use a Winsock control
