You could try to let the event wait for 1 second, or long enough to finish scanning

private async void txt_Barcode_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    await Task.Delay(1000);
    con.Open();
    GenerateInvoice gn = new GenerateInvoice();
    string query = "SELECT * FROM dbo.Inventory WHERE Barcode = '" + txt_Barcode.Text + "' ";

    SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, con);
    SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();


    while (DR1.Read())
    {
        gn.txt_Barcode.Text = dr["Barcode"].ToString();
        gn.txt_ProductName.Text = dr["ProductName"].ToString();
        gn.txt_Price.Text = dr["SellingPrice"].ToString();
        gn.txt_QTY.Text = 1.ToString();
        gn.txt_Total.Text = dr["SellingPrice"].ToString();

    }
    con.Close();
}
