To use the SDK with .NET you have the following options:

1. Use the .NET STandard NuGet package available at:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/softekbarcodenetstandard/

barcode = New SoftekBarcodeNetStandard.BarcodeReader()

2. Use the .NET Framework NuGet package available at:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/SoftekBarcodeNet

barcode = New SoftekBarcodeNet.BarcodeReader()

3. Add a reference to the DLL called SoftekBarcodeNet.dll in this folder

This DLL is the same as used in (2) above and wraps around the native DLL files.

When you create an instance of the BarcodeReader object you need to specify the location of the native DLL files as follows:

barcode = New SoftekBarcodeNet.BarcodeReader(@"\path\to\softek\barcode\toolkit\DLL")

The sample program in this example uses option (3) for a simple console app but it is very similar to code for either (1) or (2) above.
