I would like to create a Point Of Sale System. Is there a website that sells
the interface between a POS Cash register and .NET?

Thanks for the help

Angel,
I have desigened and written a complete POS system in .NET 2.0 (also a
complete reservation system for my Hotel). What Cash Register are you
looking at, if this is only a cash drawer, you need to look at the EPSON POS
specifications, these define standard fonts that you can send characters for
specific POS functions to occur (such as open Cash Drawer). The cash drawers
are usualy run directly from the Parallel Port of from a POS printer, if you
have one attached to the Parallel port.

I own a hotel in Thailand, I looked around for a complete package to mange
my Hotel (60 rooms, 2 restuarants, 2 bars) but they were all very expensive.
I have been in the programming game for more the 30 years (how many more I
am not going to say, but I'm no young whipersanpper any more), so I decided
to write it myself. Strarted in VB 6 and MySql 5 years ago, just finished
conversion to SQL Server 2005 and .Net 2.0, working on the installation
programs and doc, then I may start to sell.

Not sure. I wondered that myself as it is probably less then 50 debug items
(total guess) to compile it to 2.0; unless they want to refactor the whole
thing using generic types or something.

If you follow the blog link, it looks like some folks are using it with 2.0.
One had an issue with some device, but that could anything.

I'v just downloaded, I'll give it a go -- think it could reduce a bit of
code for me in the POSPrinter areas, but I need to test the performance. One
of my bars is very busy, and the receipt printer is running flat out at the
moment. I currently write directly to the device to keep it running as fast
as I can. I will let you know how the experimantation goes.
