Has anyone made a program that uses a barcode/magnetic strip/card reader?

Next semester I think I'm going to have make an inventory database program that uses a card reader but I've never made a program or seen the source code of a program that uses a card reader. I'm gonna ask my boss if it came with any software or manuals later today. Does anyone have any experience with it though? It shouldn't be too difficult to read in a card (I hope :))
I want to do it in c/c++ or c# but I don't mind using vb or vb.net if necessary.
