DotImage Barcode Reader SDK for .NET
Recognizes many types of barcodes. Install a trial of DotImage to try it against your documents.
The DotImage Barcode Reader add-on adds advanced barcode recognition of images to your .NET applications. It reads 16 industry 1-D barcodes and 3 industry 2-D barcode symbologies, and 2 postal symbologies (see features for a full list).
The best way to see if our SDK can read your particular barcodes and documents is by downloading a free trial and using our demo barcode app which is installed alongside the SDK.
This component is very easy to use and designed specifically for Microsoft .NET. Licensing is runtime royalty free for desktop deployments.
Add advanced barcode reading to your .NET applications with the Barcode Reader Add-On to DotImage 7.0 or later. This component is very easy to use and designed specifically for Microsoft .NET. Runtime royalty free options available for desktop or server deployments.

The barcode reading engine can be used to read a single barcode from an image, multiple barcodes from an image, or in conjunction with our DotTwain module to separate pages during batch scanning:
void acq_ImageAcquired(object sender, AcquireEventArgs e)
{
AtalaImage myScannedImage = AtalaImage.FromBitmap(e.Image);
BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(myScannedImage);
ReadOpts options = new ReadOpts();
options.Direction = Atalasoft.Barcoding.Directions.East;
options.Symbology = Atalasoft.Barcoding.Symbologies.Code39;
BarCode[] results = reader.ReadBars(options);
foreach (Atalasoft.Barcoding.BarCode code in results)
System.Console.WriteLine(code.ToString());
}
The barcode reader will also let you specify a region of interest, for faster results and tighter control. See these articles for more information about reading barcodes:
