RussianQuestion
My application is preparing a cover-sheet for submitting documents by fax. I identify the batch by printing a Code39 on it.
The incoming faxes are received as tif files and my small c# service is polling for new faxes and calling a decoding function.
Currently I use a Win32 dll to recognize the barcode (QSbar39) and I am facing some problems with it - timeouts, hangs, errors etc. which are painful to handle.
I'd prefer the have some free .Net component or an open source class to integrate.
Whould you take a different approach? What tool do you use?
Many thanks for your answers!
Solution
BarBara is an open source barcode recognition library. It certainly isn't perfect, but I have gotten it to work (if I remember it needed some twiddling to get it to compile in VS2008) pretty well.
OTHER TIPS
I've used this java libarary with good results, and have gotten it to compile in .Net with minimal effort. It's been around for a while and works pretty well. It had some minor issues with EAN codes, but that has probably been resolved now.
I'm not sure there is anything available free or open source, but VintaSoftBarcode.NET Library is pretty cheap and did the job for me on a recent project.
