Motorola BarCode scan not working

I am trying to write a small application to read BarCode using Motorola MC5040 Symbol device. Clicking on a button on form should read BarCode. I am having hard time finding any sample projects. I reference Symbol and Symbol.Barcode DLLs Here is the code that is not working. Not sure how to control the side buttons on device either.

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public static Symbol.Barcode.Reader SymbolReader = new Reader();
    public static Symbol.Barcode.ReaderData SymbolReaderData = new ReaderData(ReaderDataTypes.Text, 100);
    public static System.EventHandler SymbolEventHandler = null;

    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        InitScanner();
    }

    public void InitScanner()
    {
        SymbolEventHandler = new EventHandler(this.SymbolReader_ReadNotify);
        SymbolReader.Actions.Enable();
    }

            public void SymbolReader_ReadNotify(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        SymbolReader.Actions.Enable();
        Symbol.Barcode.ReaderData TheReaderData = SymbolReader.GetNextReaderData();
        if (TheReaderData.Result == Symbol.Results.SUCCESS )
        {

                txtBarcode.Text = TheReaderData.Text.ToString();
                SymbolReader_CycleScannerReader();
                return;

        }
        SymbolReader_CycleScannerReader();
    }

    public void SymbolReader_CycleScannerReader()
    {
        SymbolReader.Actions.Read(SymbolReaderData);
    }


    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      SymbolReader_ReadNotify(sender,  e);
    }    
 }
}

Any pointers or correction will be great.

Here is a sample application using the Symbol.Barcode2 library https://github.com/bigfont/2013-128CG-Vendord/blob/master/HelpfulStuff/CS_Barcode2Sample1/API.cs

if you initialize a Barcode2 object you can then use that object to capture scan data

var myBarcode2Obj = new Barcode2();
myBarcode2Obj.OnScan += //Your scan even here;
