I need to reference the ZXing library to scan QR codes in my Windows

  • 0

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.codeplex.com/

However, whenever i try to add a reference to zxing.wp8.0.dll, I get an error as follows:

A reference to higher version or incompatible assembly cannot be added
to the project.

Can I please know why am I getting this error. Is there anything that I am doing wrong or missing?

    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.
