Take a look QRCoder - pure C# open source QR code generator. Can be used in three lines of code

QRCodeGenerator qrGenerator = new QRCodeGenerator();
QRCodeGenerator.QRCode qrCode = qrGenerator.CreateQrCode(textBoxQRCode.Text, QRCodeGenerator.ECCLevel.Q);
pictureBoxQRCode.BackgroundImage = qrCode.GetGraphic(20);

Generate QR Code Image in ASP.NET Using Google Chart API

Google Chart API returns an image in response to a URL GET or POST request. All the data required to create the graphic is included in the URL, including the image type and size.

var url = string.Format("http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=qr&chs={1}x{2}&chl={0}", txtCode.Text, txtWidth.Text, txtHeight.Text);
                WebResponse response = default(WebResponse);
                Stream remoteStream = default(Stream);
                StreamReader readStream = default(StreamReader);
                WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url);
                response = request.GetResponse();
                remoteStream = response.GetResponseStream();
                readStream = new StreamReader(remoteStream);
                System.Drawing.Image img = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(remoteStream);
                img.Save("D:/QRCode/" + txtCode.Text + ".png");
                response.Close();
                remoteStream.Close();
                readStream.Close();
                txtCode.Text = string.Empty;
                txtWidth.Text = string.Empty;
                txtHeight.Text = string.Empty;
                lblMsg.Text = "The QR Code generated successfully";

Answer 3

You can look at Open Source QR Code Library or messagingtoolkit-qrcode. I have not used either of them so I can not speak of their ease to use.

Answer 4

ZXing is an open source project that can detect and parse a number of different barcodes. It can also generate QR-codes. (Only QR-codes, though).

There are a number of variants for different languages: ActionScript, Android (java), C++, C#, IPhone (Obj C), Java ME, Java SE, JRuby, JSP. Support for generating QR-codes comes with some of those: ActionScript, Android, C# and the Java variants.
