Program.cs

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


namespace QRCodeWithImage

			const string outputFile = @".\barcode.png";
			const string barcodeValue = "1234567890 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1234567890 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
			
			// Create and activate barcode generator instance

				// 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

					// Enable QR Code decoding
					reader.BarcodeTypesToFind.QRCode = true;

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