Hi,
I'm trying to evaluate the xamBarcodeReader:
http://www.infragistics.com/dotnet/netadvantage/wpf/data-visualization/barcode-reader.aspx#Overview
I've downloaded and installed WPFDV 2011.2 and I can't find this control in InfragisticsWPF4.Controls.Barcodes.v11.2.dll along with the others. InfragisticsWPF4.Controls.Barcodes.BarcodeReader.v11.2.dll only seems to contain the BarcodeReader class for decoding the barcode image, not the control.
I also cannot find any reference to it in the online docs:
http://help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/WPFDV/2011.2/CLR4.0/
Am I missing something?
Hello,
Thank you for your post. I have been looking through it and I suggest you see the following links about the BarcodeReader and the different types of Barcodes:
http://help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/WPFDV/2011.2/CLR4.0/?page=Developers_Guide_Infragistics_Barcode_Reader.html
and
http://help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/WPFDV/2011.2/CLR4.0/?page=xamBarcode_Adding_xamBarcode_Using_Xaml.html
Hope this helps you.
Thanks for the response. Perhaps I misunderstood the marketing blurb on the xamBarcode Reader page:
"Using your Webcam, an attached scanning device, or any barcode image from your file system, you can use the WPF barcode reader to read and decode barcode images, with full support for identifying the following barcode symbologies"
I interpreted this as meaning there was a barcode reader control that provided the image capturing functionality via the device camera (e.g. webcam).
Can you confirm that the BarcodeReader only provides reading a barcode image that has already been captured, and does not facilitate the capturing aspect?
The BarcodeReader’s Decode method accepts BitmapImage as a parameter for decoding, so you can use your camera only to take a picture of the Barcode and pass it to the BarcodeReader object for decoding.
