Hi Shamil No, I picked the Leadtools app because its description sounded trustworthy and it was free. As it proved to work clever and reliable, I haven't looked further. You click a code, a voice tells you if the app can read it, and next you are offered to search for the code if a barcode was found, or - if a QR-code - it just looks up the URL. Later research showed that they label themselves as "The World Leader in Imaging SDKs" which may not be false. I don't know, but the app works fine and, of course, uses their SDK for QR/barcode scanning. The SDK for Windows Phone is described here: http://www.leadtools.com/sdk/silverlight/windows-phone.htm Quite comprehensive and at a price ... cheapest package seems to be listed at USD 995 - well beyond my budget. For your purpose, custom programming is probably needed. I've seen some open-source projects for reading QR-codes and I guess you can find one as well for barcodes, but I haven't looked for such. /gustav >>> Salakhetdinov Shamil <mcp2004 at mail.ru> 19-12-2011 12:40 >>> Hi Gustav -- Thank you for your reply. ?

I'd be interested to find and purchase a program which will reliably and quickly read barcodes (and QR codes) , will send them to a web service (which can be defined in program settings) and gets back (maybe in another program which will run on WP7 in parallel) some information about a product/services, which barcode was scanned/shot by camera Thank you. -- Shamil 19 декабря 2011, 13:55 от "Gustav Brock" <Gustav at cactus.dk>: > Hi Shamil > > Yes, I found one (free) which reads common barcodes as EAN/UPC, PDF417, Datamatrix, as well as QR-codes: > > Leadtools Barcode Demo > > It works very well and is intended to demonstrate a SDK offered by Leadtools. > > /gustav > > >>> Salakhetdinov Shamil <mcp2004 at mail.ru> 19-12-2011 09:13 >>> > Hi Gustav -- > > Yes, "Lots of apps to browse for a potential waste of time". > And do you know about a WP7 app for bar codes reading? > > Thank you. > > -- Shamil
