* Built-on .NET Technology - Barcode algorithms written in managed-code C# which can be used in any kind of .NET projects like Windows Forms, Console or Windows Services. Barcode Professional SDK also supports .NET Data Binding and Binary, SOAP & XML serialization features. * Easy to Dev & Deploy - Easy as 1, 2, 3! (1) Just add a reference to Barcode Professional DLL assembly, (2) instantiate it in your preferred .NET language like VB.NET and C#, (3) set up barcode properties and that's it! XCOPY deploy the barcode dll bundled with your exe app or dll project. * Not a Barcode Fontware - Our Barcode SDK is a graphic-based engine which renders high-quality & high-precision barcodes by using System.Drawing classes. There are many reasons why you should not use a barcode fontware in your .NET projects.

* Simple - With SLOC at a fraction of the size of open source solutions, the Manatee Works Barcode Scanner SDK proves great things do come in small packages. Forget the learning curve... keep developers focused on application development instead of the complexities of an unsupported, bloated, lame scanning solution. * Affordable - Given multiple licensing choices, one-time payment options, and NO network connectivity requirements, our decoders are more affordable, reliable, and simple to license than our commercial competitors. * Accurate - While most decoders only work well with high-resolution barcode images, our decoders are tuned to read the densest barcode images even in low light, extreme angles, varying brightness and contrast levels, and inverted surfaces. * Fast - Thanks to our proprietary Cleanz™ Algorithm, Manatee Works achieves exceptional barcode scanning performance and read-range, in a variety of lighting conditions, making our decoding capabilities transparent to use. Any open source solution fails to achieve the same...
