How to Read Barcodes From System.Drawing Objects

using IronSoftware.Drawing; // Required for AnyBitmap class
using System.Collections.Generic; // Required for using the List<T> class
using System.Drawing; // Required for using Bitmap and Image classes

// Create a list to store AnyBitmap objects which will represent barcodes
List<AnyBitmap> barcodes = new List<AnyBitmap>();

// Instantiate a Bitmap object from an image file
// Replace "test1.jpg" with the actual path to your image file
Bitmap bitmapFromBitmap = new Bitmap("test1.jpg");

// Convert the Bitmap to AnyBitmap using a defined method
// AnyBitmap allows additional functionalities specific to IronSoftware
AnyBitmap barcode1 = AnyBitmap.FromBitmap(bitmapFromBitmap);

// Add the converted AnyBitmap object to the list of barcodes
barcodes.Add(barcode1);

// Instantiate an Image object from another image file
// Replace "test2.png" with the actual path to your image file
Image bitmapFromFile = Image.FromFile("test2.png");

// Convert the Image to AnyBitmap using a defined method
AnyBitmap barcode2 = AnyBitmap.FromImage(bitmapFromFile);

// Add the second converted AnyBitmap object to the list of barcodes
barcodes.Add(barcode2);
