I don’t how ZEN barcode works. However, you can use LEADTOOLS for writing and reading barcodes, the reading code is as simple as this: BarcodeEngine engine = new BarcodeEngine(); BarcodeReader reader = engine.Reader; BarcodeData[] barcode = reader.ReadBarcodes(image, LeadRect.Empty, 0, null ); if (barcode != null ) Console.WriteLine( "Data:{0}, Found at location {1}" , barcode[0].Value, barcode[0].Bounds); You can find more details in the following link: https://www.leadtools.com/help/leadtools/v20/dh/ba/barcodereader.html Also, you can use the cloud services for reading barcodes, see this link: https://services.leadtools.com/documentation/tutorials

I know little about Zen.Barcode library. But you could try Free Spire.Barcode to read a barcode easily from a popular image format. string data = Spire.Barcode.BarcodeScanner.ScanOne( "Barcode.png" ); If an image contains more than one barcode, then you could read the barcodes like this string[] data = Spire.Barcode.BarcodeScanner.Scan( "Barcodes.png" );
