In this tutorial, you will learn how to read barcodes in C# using the Iron Barcode library. First, open Visual Studio and navigate to the package manager console to install the Iron Barcode library by typing 'install package barcode'. Once installed, proceed to the Program.cs file to write the necessary code. Begin by adding the namespace using 'namespace IronBarcode'. Reading a barcode is simplified with the method 'BarcodeReader.QuicklyReadOneBarcode', which takes the file name of the barcode image as a parameter. In this example, 'barcode.png' is used, with the barcode image placed in the project's bin folder. After decoding, print the barcode value using 'Console.WriteLine(barcodeResult.Text)'. Running the program will successfully read and display the barcode value. This straightforward approach enables efficient barcode reading using C#.
