Thanks for sharing! I love a good vid on a library because it gives me ideas for features I can add to my apps that I'll never have time to fully implement 🤣

Hi Gerald,
How would I implement this generator in a .NET Blazor Maui Blazor app?
I'd like to implement this on a razor page and not via xaml.
Thank you.

Thank you for this, I was able to get this working in my app to scan QR codes. Is there a way to hide the CameraBarcodeReaderView once the scanning is complete. None of the obvious things seem to work: IsVisible or IsEnabled = False?

Awesome. I am happy to have subscribed for the advantage packages of your YouTube channel.
Can I ask you a little question ?
What is the state of .NET MAUI (PRODUCTION ready, or RC) ?
Is there publication on that ? This is important for my managers. Thank you.

Gerald, I'd like to ask you a question about .Net MAUI that's not related to this video. What's the best place to do that? Thanks

hello gerald I love your channel and your videos, I need a little help, I hope you can help me, I have an app that uses zxing to generate barcodes, in debug mode everything is fine, when I generate the APK everything is fine even when I install it on a physical phone or tablet, but when I open the screen that zxing uses, the app closes completely without being able to capture the error, and these happen in the screen view, I don't know what happens to the APK that cannot generate the control or Some special configuration of the control is needed, has it happened to you? can you help me?

Small recommendation: can you start using dark theme in VS when recording your video tutorials?

This is a cool feature, it was also nice to do this in forms also. I am currently working at a company that is using xamarin android native and they are worried it will be replaced by maui. The documentation is a bit confusing because it mixes xamarin and forms as if they were the same thing. Do you happen to know if native xamarin will be replaced by maui and if so will all native xamarin be obsolete? Thanks!

Hi Gerald,
Thanks for all the videos.
Is it possible to share, export or save the generated barcodes as an image?
If so, how?
Thanks in advance.
