Readme for live web cam barcode scanning ASP.NET demo Supports all browsers by using 2 modes: (required mode is automatically detected by the javascript) - HTML5 based web camera capture (supported by Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Safari on iOS browsers) - Flash based web camera capture (supported by Internet Explorer 9+ and any browser with flash support) IMPORTANT about HTML5 webcamera support (Chrome, Firefox, Safari on desktop and iOS): it is required to run your website (even test website) via SSL connection. Otherwise, web camera won't initialize at all as it requies SSL connection. Visual Studio 2008/2010 or higher is required for this sample to run! 1) Install evaluation copy of BarCode Reader SDK from www.bytescout.com 2) in Visual Studio use File - Open - Web-Site.. and open the folder with this sample 3) Add a reference to ByteScout BarCode Reader dll using the menu: Website - Add Reference (find Bytescout Barcode Reader SDK on .NET tab, select and click OK to add a reference) 4) Right-click on "Default.aspx" file and select "Set As Start Page" 5) Run the project in debug mode 6) Visual Studio will run your project in Internet Explorer or another browser If it run Internet Explorer then better copy the link from the IE and copy-and-paste to another browser with HTML5 web cam support like Google Chrome, Firefox or Safari 7) When browser asks for permission to access web-cam click "Allow" to allow access to web cam 8) click "START BARCODE SCAN.." button so the page will start automatically to grab frames from video and sending it to server-side code to read barcodes using Barcode Reader SDK 9) IMPORTANT: barcode should be in focus. Some webcams are not focusing on small barcodes, you may need to adjust the focus on your webcam so it will work OK with small images like barcodes 10) Click Stop to stop barcode scanning Select barcode type to scan if need to scan a particular barcode type (by default scans for all known types) TESTING: - we recommend to use the Conveyor plugin to test your web app from local net or public url: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vs-publisher-1448185.ConveyorbyKeyoti

SOLUTION: If your IIS Application Pool has "Load User Profile" option enabled the IIS provides access to user's temp folder. Check user's temporary folder If you are running Web Application under an impersonated account or IIS_IUSRS group, IIS may redirect all requests into separate temp folder like "c:\temp\". In this case - check the User or User Group your web application is running under - then add permissions for this User or User Group to read and write into that temp folder (c:\temp or c:\windows\temp\ folder) - restart your web application and try again */ protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { } /// <summary> /// Takes the base64 encoded image from the browser /// and tries to read barodes from it /// </summary> /// <param name="image"></param> /// <param name="type"></param> /// <returns></returns> [WebMethod] public static string Upload(string image, string type) { try { StringBuilder send = new StringBuilder(); // lock by send variable lock (send) { // Convert base64 string from the client side into byte array byte[] bitmapArrayOfBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(image); // Create Bytescout.BarCodeReader.Reader object Reader reader = new Reader(); // Get the barcode type from user's selection in the combobox reader.BarcodeTypesToFind = GetBarcodeTypeToFindFromCombobox(type); // Read barcodes from image bytes reader.ReadFromMemory(bitmapArrayOfBytes); // Check whether the barcode is decoded if (reader.FoundBarcodes != null) { // Add each decoded barcode into the string foreach (FoundBarcode barcode in reader.FoundBarcodes) { // Add barcodes as text into the output string send.AppendLine(String.Format("{0} : {1}", barcode.Type, barcode.Value)); } } // Return the output string as JSON return send.ToString(); } } catch (Exception ex) { // return the exception instead return (ex.Message + "\r\n" + ex.StackTrace); } } /// <summary> /// Get symbology filter for the SDK from the combobox selection text /// </summary> /// <param name="barType"></param> /// <returns></returns> private static BarcodeTypeSelector GetBarcodeTypeToFindFromCombobox(string barType) { string selectedItemText = barType.Trim().ToUpper(); BarcodeTypeSelector barcodeTypeToScan = new BarcodeTypeSelector(); if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("ALL BARCODES") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.SetAll(); else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("ALL LINEAR BARCODES") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.SetAll1D(); else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("ALL 2D BARCODES") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.SetAll2D(); else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("AZTEC") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.Aztec = true; else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("CODABAR") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.Codabar = true; else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("CODE 39") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.Code39 = true; else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("CODE 128") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.Code128 = true; else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("DATAMATRIX") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.DataMatrix = true; else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("EAN 13") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.EAN13 = true; else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("GS1-128") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.GS1 = true; else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("GS1DATABAREXPANDED") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.GS1DataBarExpanded = true; else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("GS1DATABAREXPANDEDSTACKED") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.GS1DataBarExpandedStacked = true; else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("GS1DATABARLIMITED") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.GS1DataBarLimited = true; else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("GS1DATABAROMNIDIRECTIONAL") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.GS1DataBarOmnidirectional = true; else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("GS1DATABARSTACKED") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.GS1DataBarStacked = true; else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("I2OF5") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.Interleaved2of5 = true; else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("INTELLIGENT MAIL") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.IntelligentMail = true; else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("PATCH") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.PatchCode = true; else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("PDF 417") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.PDF417 = true; else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("QR CODE") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.QRCode = true; else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("UPCA") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.UPCA = true; else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("UPCE") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.UPCE = true; else if (selectedItemText.IndexOf("MAXICODE") > -1) barcodeTypeToScan.MaxiCode = true; return barcodeTypeToScan; } }
