If you are looking for a barcode scanning library in Silverlight or Windows Phone 7 you can check out the Silverlight ZXing port at http://silverlightzxing.codeplex.com/. The project includes sample code for using the library as well as a BarcodePhotoChooser XAML/CS page for displaying and choosing sample barcodes since the emulator does not support the camera. I created it for use in the PhraseMeme Scanner app that was recently released to the marketplace, but I plan on submitting bug fixes and additional code to the project so that others can also use it in their Windows Phone 7 or Silverlight applications.

Not without changes - System.Drawing isn't available in WP7 (or Silverlight in general, for that matter).

The simplest way to find out though is to create a new WP7 class library project, try to add the existing source to it, and then try to add the assemblies that the original code references.
