I need to generate QR code for some data, I don't want to use System.Drawing.Common . Any other suiatble way for generating QR code using C#

With System.Drawing.Common the type initializer for Gdip threw an exception.

Creating an API which should send a QR code (base64 encoded string) as a response. I tried using ZXing and System.Drawing.common libraries to generate QR code and then return it in byte[] so that can be converted in base64 string to send as a response in .net API.
