You can easily add barcode detection to your Windows applications. The ImageGear .NET Barcode component detects all barcodes in an image and gives you complete details about each barcode.

Barcode Creation
The barcode engine can create many of the popular 1D barcode formats. The Barcode engine is also capable of writing both PDF417 and DataMatrix 2-D barcodes. The created barcodes can be constrained to a specified image size or can auto-size output image. 1D barcodes can also include the barcode value under the barcode symbol.
