@using QRCoder
...
QRCode qrCode = new QRCode(qrCodeData);

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Create a blazor server app and paste this code into the index.razor page:

@page "/"

@using System.Drawing
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
@code {
    protected async override Task OnInitializedAsync()
    {
	QRCodeGenerator qrGenerator = new QRCodeGenerator();
	QRCodeData qrCodeData = qrGenerator.CreateQrCode("The text which should be encoded.", QRCodeGenerator.ECCLevel.Q);
	QRCode qrCode = new QRCode(qrCodeData);
	Bitmap qrCodeImage = qrCode.GetGraphic(20);
	await base.OnInitializedAsync();
    }

I having the same problem in version 1.4.3 and .NET 6. So I downgraded to 1.4.2.

Same here, I had to downgrade.

I experienced the same when upgrading my class lib to .NET 6. Was able to make it work by setting Target OS to Windows on project settings but I would prefer not having to do this, if possible.

You can try:

PngByteQrCode OR
BitmapByteQrCode

For those wondering how to display a QR code in Blazor WASM using .NET 6+, you might want to try this:

@using QRCoder

<img src=@("data:image/png;base64," + System.Convert.ToBase64String(
 PngByteQRCodeHelper.GetQRCode("text you want displayed as QR code", QRCodeGenerator.ECCLevel.Q, 10))) />

after downgrading to 1.4.2, this inline code worked, thanks for the suggestion
