Begin Your Barcode Generation and Reading Project with .NET Barcode Reader
Reading barcode types in .NET is now a breeze with IronBarcode's versatile, advanced, and efficient library.
Where do you begin?
Install IronBarcode's NuGet package or manually install the DLL to your project or your globally assembly cache. You are now one step closer to producing a C# Barcode image scanner application in
one live of code. Extract barcode images, values, encoding types, binary data (if any) and then output it all to the console.
TryHarder - Deeper Scans for Skewed Barcode Formats
Adding IronBarcode's TryHarder variable to the QuicklyReadOneBarcode method makes the application try harder, albeit consuming more time, but more thoroughly for analyzing obscured, skewed, or corrupted QR code image formats.
Feel Free to Specify Multiple Formats
You can specify barcode encoding(s) that you are looking for, or specify multiple formats - IronBarcode empowers you with unlimited barcode analysis tools.
You can improve barcode reading performance and accuracy. You can specify various barcode formats simultaneously with the pipe character or 'Bitwize OR'. Alternatively, achieve more specificity and quality with the BarcodeReader.ReadASingleBarcode Method.
Read Barcodes from PDF Documents, to Scans, to Multithreading
If your next project is reading a scanned PDF document and looking for all the 1D barcodes, again IronBarcode will not disappoint. It is similar to reading a single barcode from a single document, except now there is added information about the page number the barcode belongs to.
Similarly, the same result is achieved from a multi-frame TIFF. It is treated similarly to a PDF in this respect.
Is multithreading bothering you? If so, it is supported with IronBarcode!
To read mulitple documents, you can achieve better results with IronBarcode, by creating a list of documents and using the BarcodeReader.ReadBarcodesMultithreaded method. This uses multiple threads and potentially all your CPU cores for the barcode scanning process and can be exponentially faster than reading barcodes one at a time.
Worrying about Imperfect Images is in the Past with Perfect Barcode Generator
In the real world, users may wish to scan a barcode that is not perfect screenshots or PNG images or photographs. Conventional open source .NET barcode generators and reader libraries would make it impossible to read any less-than-perfect image format. However, IronBarcode makes this incredibly straightforward.
The TryHarder method of QuicklyReadOneBarcode results in IronBarcode to deskew and read barcodes from imperfect digital samples.
Photographs, Scans, and Thumbnails
If a photograph is skewed, set specific barcode rotation and image correction to correct the digital noise, skewness, perspective, and rotation reasonably expected from a cellphone camera.
Similarly, reading QR codes and PDF-417 barcodes from a scanned PDF requires setting an appropriate level of barcode rotation correction and barcode image correction to lightly clean the document. However, caution is practiced by not over-specifying and compromising performance.
If you have a corrupted barcode thumbnail then the IronBarcode reader methods automatically detect barcode images that are too small, and upscales, and cleans all the digital noise associated with thumbnailing; making them readable again.
