ByteScout Barcode Reader SDK – C# – Acquire From Scanner And Decode

// This example demonstrates camera image acquiring using Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) interface.

// If you experienced issues with this example, please try another example located in /Visual Basic.NET/Read From Live Video Cam/
