Using our barcode reader SDK you can enable your application to read barcodes from images with only a few lines of code. So how do you do it? 1. Add a reference to the SoftekBarcodeNet.dll DotNet component 2. Use code similar to this… barcode = new SoftekBarcodeNet.BarcodeReader(@”path\to\our\sdk\bin”); // Set a few properties barcode.MultipleRead = true;
