How to Read & Scan Barcode in C# Using NET MAUI

This tutorial demonstrates how to create a barcode scanning app using .NET MAUI and IronBarcode. The process begins with setting up a .NET MAUI cross-platform application in Visual Studio, ensuring the necessary development workload is installed. Next, the IronBarcode library is integrated via the NuGet package manager. The user interface is created using XAML, featuring a scrollable view, a vertical stack layout, and interactive elements such as buttons and an image tag. The main functionality is implemented in C#, where methods handle image selection, barcode scanning, and text copying to the clipboard. Users can select an image containing a barcode, scan it with IronBarcode, and display the decoded text efficiently. The app supports various barcode types, showcasing its versatility. This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough of building a barcode scanner app, highlighting the integration of IronBarcode with .NET MAUI. Explore more possibilities with IronBarcode and enhance your app development experience.
