Implementing barcode scanning into .NET application development can offer a real boost of efficiency, this can either be achieved by manually adding corresponding lines of code, or by using a dedicated programming solution, such as IronBarcode - The .NET Barcode Library.

Developed in order to provide read and write for most Barcode and QR standards, the library offers an API that provides automated check-ups for format, length, number, and checksum, in order to avoid any encoding errors. Furthermore, the barcode writer will provide users with a range of options for defining and adding styles, performing resizing, adjusting margins and borders, and adding text annotations.

The barcode reading engine is equipped with an automatic image correction module, as well as barcode detection technology, which will help users with both locating and clearing imperfect scans. Several extra features enable multithreading or cropping and the possibility to scan multiple documents simultaneously is also offered.

Some of the read and write standards that are being supported by the library include 39/93/128, UPC, A/E, EAN 8/13, ITF, RSS 14 / Expanded, Databar, CodaBar, Aztec, Data Matrix, MaxiCode, PDF417, MSI, Plessey, USPS, and QR. The yielded barcode data is offered in a wide range, which encompasses binary, text, page or even image formats.
