I have been given the task of creating a web application that will communicate with an RS-232 barcode scanner, an RS-232 customer display, print to a receipt printer and open a cash drawer.
I have VS2012 and was going to write the application in ASP.NET.
HOWEVER, through what I have read in this forum, it's not that easy to communicate with RS-232 from a website.
The RS-232 devices are connected to the client's machine and NOT the server.
What can I use to communicate with these devices if it's a web application?
