Scan and Read Aztec Code in C# .NET

PSPDFKit GdPicture.NET Library enables you to recognize one-dimensional (1D or linear) and two-dimensional (2D) barcodes.

GdPicture.NET supports all 1D barcode formats and the following 2D barcode formats:

Aztec Code
Data Matrix
MaxiCode
Micro QR
PDF417
QR

To recognize Aztec Code barcodes and then write their values to the console, follow these steps:

Create a GdPictureImaging object.
Select the image by passing its path to the CreateGdPictureImageFromFile method of the GdPictureImaging object.
Scan the barcodes by passing the image as the parameter of the BarcodeAztecReaderDoScan method.
Determine the number of scanned barcodes and loop through them.
Save the value of each barcode.
Write the values to the console.
Release unnecessary resources.

The example below scans Aztec Code barcodes and then writes their values to the console:

using GdPictureImaging gdpictureImaging = new GdPictureImaging();
// Select the image to process.
int imageID = gdpictureImaging.CreateGdPictureImageFromFile(@"C:\temp\source.png");
// Scan the barcodes.
gdpictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderDoScan(imageID);
// Determine the number of scanned barcodes.
int barcodeCount = gdpictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderGetBarcodeCount();
string content = "";
if (barcodeCount > 0)
{
    content = "Number of barcodes scanned: " + barcodeCount.ToString();
    // Save the value of each barcode.
    for (int i = 1; i <= barcodeCount; i++)
    {
        content += $"\nBarcode Number: {i} Value: {gdpictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderGetBarcodeValue(i)}";
    }
}
// Write the values to the console.
Console.WriteLine(content);
// Release unnecessary resources.
gdpictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderClear();
gdpictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(imageID);

Using gdpictureImaging As GdPictureImaging = New GdPictureImaging()
    ' Select the image to process.
    Dim imageID As Integer = gdpictureImaging.CreateGdPictureImageFromFile("C:\temp\source.png")
    ' Scan the barcodes.
    gdpictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderDoScan(imageID)
    ' Determine the number of scanned barcodes.
    Dim barcodeCount As Integer = gdpictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderGetBarcodeCount()
    Dim content = ""
    If barcodeCount > 0 Then
        content = "Number of barcodes scanned: " & barcodeCount.ToString()
        ' Save the value of each barcode.
        For i = 1 To barcodeCount
            content = content & vbLf & "Barcode Number: " & i.ToString() & "    Value: " & gdpictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderGetBarcodeValue(i).ToString()
        Next
    End If
    ' Write the values to the console.
    Console.WriteLine(content);
    ' Release unnecessary resources.
    gdpictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderClear()
    gdpictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(imageID)
End Using
