How to generate and check QR code barcode with image inside in C# with ByteScout Barcode Suite

How to write a robust code in C# to generate and check QR code barcode with image inside with this step-by-step tutorial

Generate and check QR code barcode with image inside is simple to apply in C# if you use these source codes below. What is ByteScout Barcode Suite? It is the bundle that privides 3 SDK products to generate barcodes (Barcode SDK), read barcodes (Barcode Reaer SDK) and read and write spreadsheets (Spreadsheet SDK). It can help you to generate and check QR code barcode with image inside in your C# application.

These C# code samples for C# guide developers to speed up coding of the application when using ByteScout Barcode Suite. IF you want to implement the functionality, just copy and paste this code for C# below into your code editor with your app, compile and run your application. If you want to use these C# sample examples in one or many applications then they can be used easily.

Program.cs

      using System;
using Bytescout.BarCode;
using Bytescout.BarCodeReader;


namespace QRCodeWithImage
{
	class Program
	{
		static void Main(string[] args)
		{
			// GENERATE QR CODE WITH DECOARATION IMAGE:

			const string decorationImageFile = @".\logo.png";
			const string outputFile = @".\barcode.png";
			const string barcodeValue = "1234567890 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1234567890 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
			
			// Create and activate barcode generator instance
			using (Barcode barcode = new Barcode("demo", "demo"))
			{
				// Set barcode type
				barcode.Symbology = Bytescout.BarCode.SymbologyType.QRCode;

				// Set high QR Code error correction level
				barcode.Options.QRErrorCorrectionLevel = QRErrorCorrectionLevel.High;

				// Set barcode value
				barcode.Value = barcodeValue;

				// Add decoration image and scale it to 15% of the barcode square
				barcode.AddDecorationImage(decorationImageFile, 15);

				// Save generated barcode
				barcode.SaveImage(outputFile);

				Console.WriteLine("Barcode saved to " + outputFile);


				// CHECK THE BARCODE IS DECODABLE:

				// Create and activate barcode reader instance
				using (Reader reader = new Reader("demo", "demo"))
				{
					// Enable QR Code decoding
					reader.BarcodeTypesToFind.QRCode = true;

					// Read barcode from generated image
					FoundBarcode[] foundBarcodes = reader.ReadFrom(outputFile);

					// Check result
					if (foundBarcodes.Length > 0 && foundBarcodes[0].Type == Bytescout.BarCodeReader.SymbologyType.QRCode)
						Console.WriteLine("Barcode is decodable.");
					else
						Console.WriteLine("Barcode is not decodable!");
				}

				Console.WriteLine();
				Console.WriteLine("Press any key...");
				Console.ReadKey();
