Thanks for the awesome work!

We would now like to release our app on WP and/or Win8. What would it take to support those platforms? How could we help? Could you point us in the right direction?

Hi,

I created a version for windows phone devices. It uses the zxing.net library and is based ond this post from the nokia developers page: http://developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Generating_and_scanning_barcodes_on_Windows_Phone It currently only supports only scanning, but in the provided link above is also described how the encoding works...so you could extend it as well. I did only test it on windows phone 7 & 8 devices, but since it uses a .net library, it should be possible somehow to use it for Win8 (I don't know much about Win8 development so I can not guarantee that...)

I did a pull request to this repository with my changes, and also you can find them here: https://github.com/huserben/BarcodeScanner

If you try it let me know and also feel free to extend it.
