Just tried to use the barcodereader with the new area parameter, and it seems to me like its either not working or I misunderstand the purpose. It does not find any barcodes, even if i select the whole image as area.
Bitmap img;
...
// Barcode found
BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(img, BarCodeReadType.Code39Extended);
// No Barcode found
BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(img, new Rectangle(Point.Empty, img.Size), BarCodeReadType.Code39Extended);
while (reader.Read())
{
Console.WriteLine(reader.GetCodeText());
}
// close reader
reader.Close();
