Referencing ZXing.Net library

Question

I need to reference the ZXing library to scan QR codes in my Windows Phone 8 app. I have downloaded the ZXing.Net 0.10.0.0 from the following source: http://zxingnet.codeple

Answer 1

Right click on the DLL in File Explorer --> Click Properties --> Choose unblock. Then try to add a reference again.

VS2012 has the absolute worst error message for when DLLs are blocked due to the fact they were downloaded from the web.

Answer 2

Goto http://nuget.org/packages/ZXing.Net

Follow the instructions to install the right version you need.
