How to check if EAN-13 is valid in C# application?
In the EAN-13 barcode, the first 12-digit of the number identify the item ID, and the final digit is a "check digit".
Using C# Barcode Reader Library, the scanned and decoded EAN-13 data will be verified by the last check digit.
How to read EAN-13 barcode?
You can use a barcode scanner device or barcode reader software to read and extract EAN-13 numbers from images.
OnBarcode C# Barcode Scanner library enables ASP.NET Core, MVC, WinForms, WPF apps to scan and read EAN-13, UPC-A, QR Code and other 2d, linear barcode text from image files.
How to scan EAN code?
EAN barcode usually includes EAN-13, EAN-8 and 2-digit or 5-digit addon. You can use barcode software or scanners to capture, read and recognize EAN barcodes from images.
C# Barcode Reader library supports both EAN-13 and EAN-8 (with or without addon) reading in C# ASP.NET Core, MVC web and Windows apps.
What file formats can C# Barcode Reader SDK scan EAN-13 barcodes from?
C# Barcode Reader SDK allows you to load and scan the EAN-13 barcodes from various raster image formats, including
bitmap, png, jpeg, gif, multi-page tiff image file, making it versatile for various enterprise application needs.
