Hello,

I think that i have a clue regarding the issue, i can reproduce it using .NET Configuration Editor.

If i set the default .NET Framework to use for BarcodeZilla to 2.0.7045 instead of 3.5.7283 then i'll get this error as well on my HTC.

If somebody can download this, extract and copy to his device to verify this theory.

I have uploaded a new .Cab to the main thread, now the application is forced to start using .NET 3.5, i suppose the issue happens if you have both .NET 2.0 and 3.5

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] [-Hausmeister-]:
nope sorry ... same error again...

On my Touch Pro there is only 3.5 not 2.0
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] w3t:
Hello,

Do you have this line in BarcodeZilla.exe.config with the latest version

<configuration>

<appSettings>

<setting name="UPCE" value="false"/>

<setting name="QR" value="false"/>

<setting name="EAN13" value="true"/>

<setting name="TryHard" value="false"/>

<setting name="UPCA" value="false"/>

<setting name="Resolution" value="default"/>

<setting name="Quality" value="l"/>

<setting name="UserCountry" value="CH"/>

<setting name="CODE128" value="true"/>

<setting name="SaveDecodedImages" value="false"/>

<setting name="CODE39" value="false"/>

<setting name="EAN8" value="true"/>

<setting name="DM" value="false"/>

</appSettings>

<startup>

<supportedRuntime version="v3.5.7283"/>

</startup>

</configuration>

If you check with .NET Configuration what is being reported ?

I know that some roms do only have a subset of .NET 3.5 but i don't know how to verify this actually.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] [-Hausmeister-]:
jup this lines are there.

.NET Conf reports that i only have "3.5.7283.0" installed and nothing else.

I also forced BarcodeZilla to use this version but the same error appears

is there a way to change the server adres in the client then? to redirect it to a sql server of my own?

i will also try the cliennt if it works on my TP with nrg 2.0 rom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] snark_be:
Nice piece of software.

Could you change the program so it uses UPC Database? :)

Instead of using your own DB, which will take some time to grow, UPC Database has already more than 1 million entries.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MiKA7:
Snark_be did the software work for you?? and if it did what phone do you have?? as it didnt work on my raphael with PROven 3.2..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] snark_be:
Yes, it works fine for me. I had to install SQL Compact Edition on my TP and then no issues. The "camera" mode is easier to use than the "live" one to get the barcode picture.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] w3t:
Hello,

it's what i did for the very first version but i didn't like this for several reasons :

- no EAN-13 / EAN-8 support which are the mainly used formats for europe

- no price information

- not a webservice but only web based

the idea was really to be able to insert prices at different stores so the softwares reports the 3 best prices (per country, during the 3 last months).

also i wanted to avoid having to use Opera or any other browser and to have the possibility to directly create the new products on the device (even when you are disconnected) and to be able to synchronize at any time.

Once again it's really a preliminary release, the advantage is that even if the product isn't known by the server it takes 5-10 seconds to enter just the company name / product name and you can start storing the price of a product at the current moment.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] w3t:
For those having issues, here's a screenshot of my \Windows folder on my HTC Touch HD.

Can you please verify you have those files as well, the following assemblies are being required by BarcodeZilla :

System

System.Data

System.Runtime.Serialization

System.ServiceModel

System.Web.Services

System.Xml

Normally those files are part of CF 3.5 but i remember in the past i have loaded a ROM where the framework was incomplete...

Run on vogue but camera sucks

FWIW, this runs fine on my HTC Vogue which has a custom WinMO 6.5 ROM on it. The only problem is that the image quality from the Vogue's camera is so bad(cannot focus up close) that I never get an ID on anything. The photos are too blurry to show the code clearly. Oh, well... thought you'd be interested to know it does run well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Hippy43:
Try turning off the "live scanning mode". That worked for me. It takes you to the phones camera instead of the little window.

---

w3t, cool app! Took me awhile to get it to work correctly, i.e. distance, light, turning off live scan, but it's been 3 for 3 so far.. It won't read a Dr. Pepper can code <LOL>

Looking forward to future updates and options. BTW D/L'd v 0.9.5 and the sql for 3.5.

Hippy

Results don't fit on screen

I've just installed BarcodeZilla 0.9.5 on my T-Mobile (HTC) Shadow, running Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard (no touch screen) and .net cf 3.5.

I'm experiencing a lot of trouble getting the program to decode bar codes, but I'm chalking that up to camera quality, as I did get it to decode from enlarged bar codes on my computer screen.

My current problem is that, once it finds the product and downloads information about it, I can't access all of the handy results. From the screenshots I've seen online, it looks like I'm only seeing the top left of the output screen, but I've no way to scroll around.

Can anyone offer any advice?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deedee:
Not decoding for me, the capture starts the camera just fine, takes the image and then saves it to the default picture location, which in my case is Storage Card\DCIM\100XPERIA and then returns me to the application, no error nothing. I have looked at the images and they seem sharp enough.

Can't get a decent enough image to try the live mode.

Xperia X1 stock O2 WM6.1 ROM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Savva06:
Hey i just get error

at barcode zilla.programme.main() anyway round this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wsmithjr:
I know why it's not working on Omnia

Appears that I must copy the image from the default location of DCIM\101SSCAM to the Barcodezilla.lite\temp folder, then run decode. It works well this way, even if it's less than convenient. Perhaps an option to change the folder it's looking for the image in?

Very cool program, btw. Not much out there to compete with the Android and iPhone apps on WinMo.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deedee:
Copying the image from it's saved location to barcodezilla\temp still fails to decode. Don't get any messages at all.

I know the image is decodeable as Barcorama is capable of decoding the image.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] [★]:
Whenever I try to run it, I get an error saying:

Cant find PInvoke Dll 'sqlceme35.dll'

Im pretty sure I have SQL Compact 3.5 SP1 installed, I got it from their site (linked to M$) and I ran it from the desktop and it installed to the C drive, not quite sure how thats supposed to effect the device :/

Any help :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deedee:
Once you have MS SQL Compact on your desktop you need to transfer the following to your PPC and install it.

sqlce.wce5.armv4i.CAB

can't remember exactly where it lives on your PC but it's the file that worked for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] [★]:
Thanks that got it working, but all of a sudden (or so it seems) I now have the pink splodge fault on my camera, maybe Im just noticing it but it wont go away, even with the hotfix :(

+the camera couldnt atall focus in on the barcode :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phot0n:
Hope this gets more development

I'm just trying this app for the first time on my Fuze. Live mode doesn't take snapshot that can be decoded. So far, most everything I've taken a snapshot of returns the eBay price which is a bit deceiving since some are only the current bid price. It would be nice to have a list that can be sorted by price or seller rating, etc. This is a good app but I see it's hard to compete with the Android/iPhone offerings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] andreatozzi:
international decoding

does it decode italian codes too or only Uk, USA, stiwzerland, france and germany ?

Thanks a lot

Hi i am using A htc hd2 (official french rom 1.48) and the programm crashes when i want to activate live mode scan. I enclose the sceen caps...

Furthermore, do you intend to develop an interface ont he mobile to display the scans already done and stored to the local database?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GTrowbridge:
First off, many thanks to w3t and everyone else on this board for their hard work.

Unfortunately, I can't get the program to decode on my Samsung Jack (i637) smartphone running WM6.5. The capture works just fine (as long as I don't use "live" mode) but as soon as I try to decode the captured image the program crashes:

BarcodeZilla.exe

OutOfMemoryException

For the record, I have over 100MB of free system RAM, so I doubt that is the problem. My internal storage is down to < 9MB, so I don't know if that may be an issue or not.

I've tried both the regular and "lite" versions of the program, and the results are the same. I do have the most recent versions of .NET and SQL mobile installed.

Thanks very much!

works fine on xperia
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mideel:
tried it on my hd2. Sometimes, the camera apps starts, but the camera doesnt :) So the screen is left empty, just the camera control buttons appear.

second, the code often cant be recognized, even when the picture is good.

third, I choosed germany as my country, and for none of the things i captured (Sony Ericsson w302, htc hd2, a computer magazine, a beer, a book) a price-information could be found. Maybe I tried the wrong things? I dont know.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CHAFA:
managed to start this app on my Acer S200. It even starts the camera app, but the image is being saved to the "/program files/BarCodZilla/" Folder instead of the "/program files/BarCodeZilla/Temp/" so it does recognizes nothing :-(

The name of saved file is Temptemp, so it seems that just "/" char is lost in path

any ideas how to change the path?

Unable to decode

So far I have never been able to decode anything, which is a shame because this app would be really useful if it worked :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dr_max:
online price information is not working

Hi,

I'm using Touch HD and everything apart from getting the price is working well (scann acuracy 98%, very good). Regardless of the product I scann in, I get the message that the price for Germany is not available.

It seems that the barcode number is inputed in Google Products and searched for, and that is not working in Google.

How can I fix this problem, anyone has an idea?

I have experienced "Red Laser" on iPhone and the search there is working fine, the problem is that I don't like iPhone and will never buy one :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jamiemcd:
Hi,

Using the Lite version of this app, seems pretty reliable at getting the barcode read etc. on my HTC HD2.

One feature I'd like for the lite version - and I'm not sure if something similar exists on the full version - is for the google products results to be displayed within the application rather than having to open a browser to view them.

To my knowledge, it's pretty easy to access the products data using the Base API, then you could just display the product data along with the list of prices and vendors, along with the option to view the results in a browser.

The layout I was thinking of would be - brief product information at the top of the screen, then 10-15 results which would initially show just the vendor and the price, then upon clicking/tapping on the entry, it would expand to include the description from that particular entry on Google Products.

Does that make sense or sound desirable?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] laikmail:
On my HD2 it is not working.

1) Live mode always crashes with an error "A native exception had occurred in BarcodeZilla.Lite.exe ..."

2) None of the barcodes was recognized.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ryuu55:
@CyberSniper

How is barcodezilla running on your HD2? What did you do to setup? I just received my HD2 last week and was going to give this app a try (again). I could not get it running properly on my touch pro before.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kingpulp:
Hi there,

is there an option to use BarcodeZilla as help with stock-receipt?

It could be interesting to have all goods in the database (with a column like "inwards"), and everytime a delivery is "scanned", the entry in column "inwards" should raise by 1.

By this way one could transfer the database to the normal PC later and synchronize stock-receipts...

Can anyone think of this?

Kind regards,

kingpulp
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nightskill:
I got a problem, too.

I think I'm unable to use the program correctly.

I installed .net framework compact 3.5, the "sqlce.wce5.armv4i.CAB" and then the "BarcodeZilla.CAB".

But where can I download the database? On every screenshot you got 4 buttons on the right. I only got one. (see picture in attachment)

Where is my mistake? Where can I configure BarcodeZilla correctly?

My goal is to import the existing Codes in the local SQL Database and use them.

I'm using the HTC Touch Diamond 2 with standard ROM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] flatmaker:
I have installed the App on my Touch HD2 but I am not able to decode any of the barcodes I recently tried. Switched to "Germany" and enabled all formats but always tells me Barcode cannot be decoded.

Any ideas or hints what to do. I am using the lite version btw.

Greetings

Tom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kettch:
Same problem here. I think it has something to do with the fact that the capture screen isn't utilizing the autofocus.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BiggerBaloo:
It works absolutely fine for me. It even recognized the barcode on a 10 year old carrier bag, telling me which supermarket it was from :D

I've sucessfully used both the Lite version and the full?? version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Superman_1122:
This program seems OK but doesn't have many products in its database,

I tried a book: "C++ For Dummies" and it found it

I tried "Ghostbusters II" DVD, and it didn't, also tried a UK Music CD "Now thats what I call 48" and it didn't, along with Kaspersky 2009 3 user license.

Also, took me a few attempts to figure out the camera likes the barcode taken portrait, not landscape like I was trying, and then its got to be pretty straight!

Edit:

Also, handy Tip for UK users, after selecting Advanced > Settings > Select Your Country > United Kingdom, change "External URL" to http://www.google.com/products... to google.co.UK for UK prices, not USD$
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phenomenon:
I think there's already other working versions coming out. Different companies though. Not to disrespect the creator of the original app, but even some of the original makers of mobile barcode scanners are coming out with their version next month. I'd just say wait for those versions because this one just hasn't really caught up to what those will bring.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NeoDoRant:

HTC HD2 – personal library (books) ISBN reader - scanner HELP

Hi guys, is anyone out there willing to help me please.

I’m looking for someone who can create a small soft, that I can load onto my HTC HD2, windows mobile, (but hopefully later on to be able to work with in on Android as well) that though the built in camera will scan the barcodes of my personal books library and than open a window where I can enter some info regarding the book. I do not want the software to search online. Ideally it would tell me what books I have in my library, which ones were read and which not, also, I need a loan window, as friends borrow books from me, so I need to know who is having my books, when did I lend it to them, when the book is due, and when was return. Obviously, this will require all data to be stored in a sort of Date of Base.

I know it may take quite a bit of time for someone to do that, but I’m willing to make a donation.

Please let me know. Thanks. HTV

hi all

i keep getting this error when i have taken a picture of the barcode and sent it.

"error while downloading: An error message is available for this exception but cannot be displayer because these messages are optional and are not currently installed on this device.

Please install 'NETCFv35.messages.EN.wm.cab@ for windows mobile 5.0 and above or 'NETCFv35.Messages.EN.cab@ for other platforms. Restart the application to see the message."

i have net3.5 installed and i am using the lite version, what am i doing wrong.

i have a HTC Touch HD2.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] terminalkhaos:
me too :(

it scans perfectly, every time, and will even search the web for the number

BUT when i try to download the info on any product i get that exact error.

i have .net 3.5 (3.5.9198.00 tbp) installed on my diamond2/topaz but not obviously the messages part, anyone know either:

a) where the messages cab is to get the exact error,

or

b) know what the issue is, and preferably, how to fix it ?????????
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] terminalkhaos:
I've sorted the problem, well half the problem

install this - xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=127979

its the Messages.EN.wm.cab

this didnt fix it for me, it may for you

but

after installation if you look in \windows for the file System.SR.dll if it is rename, and then replace with the file below, if its not there, dont worry add the file below to the windows root on your device -

to get the file to replace or add jsut do the following -

open the above cab file, Rename the file 'SYCCFA~1.001', to System.SR.dll by extracting it and then renaming it.

then soft reset, then reinstall the cab, soft reset, then it should work, well it did for me on my diamond2

this allowed me to get the full message ------

"error while downloading: the request channel timed out whilst waiting for a reply after 00:00:59 Increase the timeout value passed to the request or increase the sendtimeout value on the binding. the time alloted to the operation may have been a portion of a longer time out"

------- ammeneded------

i switched to WiFi as i had only a GPRS signal, and it worked :) guess it must be a time out issue, so i guess that it would have worked via wifi even without the messsages cab.

however, i'd still like to increase the time outs somehow to allow use over 3g and hsdpa signal rather than just wifi, and ideas where those settings are stored?

No price information for USA

I'm getting "No price information for USA" when I try to scan stuff. It decodes properly and asks me if I want to download price information. I say yes, but nothing ever comes up. I can also search via barcodezilla.net and I get returns on it.

But for now, on the wm software I get

853237001230

Nutrex Research -

No price information for USA.

Background and info

HTC Touch Pro WM 6.1

Install your software and the two cabs. HOWEVER, I installed the Compact Framewor 3.5 english version from the link on the Mobile.aspx page on barcodezilla.net. I got some of the same errors you have gotten. They apeared to be sql errors, so I got the cab for sql from this site and installed it and it works now. I was getting errors to install the messages for .net cab. So, I did that, and now (could be related to me having phone connection on, but not data connection) I get no errors. But, I also get no pricing. So far I like the software and the interface. Good job.

The problem is always "the critical mass".

You need some amount of data before people finds this interesting and starts to use your programs to add stuff. But to get that data, you need already people to input it. "chicken & egg" problem.
