I am a Software Developer mostly on Windows System. I have been tasked to create an App Program for an RF Barcode Scanner. Which I don't have any experience in this kind of software. I am open to learn new Programming Languages to develop the software for this barcode scanner. From which I see on our meeting. It uses Windows or Windows Mobile as OS.

Can someone direct me to a tut site or just tell me what language I should use?

Requirements is mostly, Log In, UI Entry of Details + Barcode, Process Button. Connection To SQL Server via Wifi Access Point to call the procedure afterwards.

I am not developing a Barcode scanner, I am developing a UI Software like a Mobile App. I tried to google but I dont know what exact keywords I should search for.

My question is, what PL is mostly used to develop this kind of softwares.

What have you already tried? It is customary to at least google before asking. – walrii Nov 19 '12 at 8:55
Have not tried anything as the project status is still not in "GO" and I dont have the RF scanner yet. I just want to ready myself so I can shorten up the amount of time learning the language needed. I am guessing the programming language has a "SIMULATE / EMULATE" or some sort than can look like the RF Ui itself. – Sid Nov 19 '12 at 9:44

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

Since you are already familiar with the windows application development, then you can probably use "Bar Code Scanners with the .NET Compact Framework" Take a look at the MSDN link : HERE
C# or VB.net would be just fine in this case.
