In this tutorial, we delve into generating QR codes using the Z Crossing and Iron Barcode libraries in Visual Studio 2022. The process starts with setting up the environment by installing necessary packages via the NuGet Package Manager. Initially, we use the Z Crossing library to create a QR code by configuring its options, generating pixel data, and saving the QR code as a PNG file. This method allows us to encode URLs like apkzombie.com into QR codes. Next, we explore the Iron Barcode library, which offers advanced customization features such as styling, color changes, and logo addition. The Iron Barcode library requires setting a license key and provides the ability to read and decode QR codes with ease. The tutorial compares both libraries, highlighting Iron Barcode’s superior customization options and ease of use. Finally, viewers are encouraged to subscribe for more tutorials and reach out to Iron Software's support team for assistance.
