C# Port of ZXing QRCode encoder/decoder

This repo is a copy of the source code from the 14.0.0 release found here: http://zxingnet.codeplex.com The readme below is from he info page on that site.

##Project Description

A library which supports decoding and generating of barcodes (like QR Code, PDF 417, EAN, UPC, Aztec, Data Matrix, Codabar) within images.

The project is a port of the java based barcode reader and generator library ZXing. https://github.com/zxing/zxing

It has been ported by hand with a lot of optimizations and improvements.

The following barcodes are supported by the decoder:

UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-13, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, ITF, Codabar, MSI, RSS-14 (all variants), QR Code, Data Matrix, Aztec and PDF-417.

The encoder supports the following formats:

UPC-A, EAN-8, EAN-13, Code 39, Code 128, ITF, Codabar, Plessey, MSI, QR Code, PDF-417, Aztec, Data Matrix

.Net 2.0, 3.5 and 4.0

Silverlight 4 and 5

Windows Phone 7.0, 7.1 and 8.0

Windows CE

Windows RT Class Library and Runtime Components (winmd)

Portable Class Library

Unity3D (.Net 2.0 built without System.Drawing reference)

Xamarin.Android (formerly Mono for Android)

The library is available in the download section and as NuGet package, too.

Additional platform support without pre-built binaries

The library can be built for Xamarin.iOS (formerly MonoTouch). The project file and solution is available in the source code repository.

A special version for the .Net Micro Framework can be found in a separate branch in the source code repository.

###Thanks

Many thanks to the team of the zxing project for their great work. ZXing.Net would not be possible without your work! Usage examples

The source code repository includes small examples for Windows Forms, Silverlight and Windows Phone.

small example decoding a barcode inside a bitmap (.Net 2.0/3.5/4.0)

// create a barcode reader instance
IBarcodeReader reader = new BarcodeReader();
// load a bitmap
var barcodeBitmap = (Bitmap)Bitmap.LoadFrom("C:\\sample-barcode-image.png");
// detect and decode the barcode inside the bitmap
var result = reader.Decode(barcodeBitmap);
// do something with the result
if (result != null)
{
   txtDecoderType.Text = result.BarcodeFormat.ToString();
   txtDecoderContent.Text = result.Text;
}

All help is welcome! Feedback

We would be happy if you give us a short note on the use of the library.

Please create a new issue here or start a discussion about it if you are not sure.
