.NET Standard 2.0 Integration

The following code is provided to assist with implementation. Please refer to the Barcode Generation and Xamarin examples provided in the download package for actual working app examples.

Availability:

  • This product is sold as a separate component that primarily generates images and does not require the use of barcode fonts, however, basic barcode fonts are provided.
  • This product is also included as a font encoder in all Developer License Packages of the PDF417 Font and Encoder. 

Generate text for IDAutomation2D font or Unicode Image on a label

C# Code Example:
PDF417 obj = new PDF417();
Label lblBarcode = new Label();
(if you want to use the IDAutomation2D font)
string textfont = obj.EncodePDF417(dataToEncode, applyTilde, eccLevel, encodingMode, NumColumns, NumRows, Truncate, OutputTypes.IDA2DFont);
lblBarcode.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("IDAutomation2D", 8.25F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, ((byte)(0)));
or (if you want to use Courier New as Unicode Image)
string textfont = obj.EncodePDF417(dataToEncode, applyTilde, eccLevel, encodingMode, NumColumns, NumRows, Truncate, OutputTypes.IDAMonospaceFont);
lblBarcode.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Courier New", 6F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, ((byte)(0)));
lblBarcode.Text = textfont;
VB.NET Code Example: 
Dim obj As New PDF417()
Dim lblBarcode as Label = new Label()
(if you want to use the IDAutomation2D font)
Dim textfont as string = obj.EncodePDF417(dataToEncode, applyTilde, eccLevel, encodingMode, NumColumns, NumRows, Truncate, OutputTypes.IDA2DFont)
lblBarcode.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("IDAutomation2D", 8.25, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, 0)
or (if you want to use Courier New as Unicode Image)
Dim textfont as string = obj.EncodePDF417(dataToEncode, applyTilde, eccLevel, encodingMode, NumColumns, NumRows, Truncate, OutputTypes.IDAMonospaceFont)
lblBarcode.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Courier New", 6, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, 0)
lblBarcode.Text = textfont

File.WriteAllText("PDF417.SVG", vectorimage)
or
string vectorimage = obj.EncodePDF417(dataToEncode, applyTilde, eccLevel, encodingMode, NumColumns, NumRows, Truncate, VectorTypes.VecEPS, "", QuietZone, ModuleSize)
File.WriteAllText("PDF417.EPS", vectorimage)
or

File.WriteAllText("PDF417.HTML", vectorimage)

Generate bitmap image as a byte array | image on a picture box control 

C# Code Example:
PDF417 obj = new PDF417();
byte[] bmpstream = obj.EncodePDF417(ddataToEncode, applyTilde, eccLevel, encodingMode, NumColumns, NumRows, Truncate, QuietZone, ModuleSize);
PictureBox picImage = new PictureBox();
picImage.AutoSize = true;
using (MemoryStream mStream = new MemoryStream(bmpstream))
{
Image img1 = Image.FromStream(mStream);
picImage.Image = img1;

Common Parameters

  • DataToEncode - The data that is encoded in the barcode.
  • OutType – (only for font output) Indicates the type of encoded text output for the barcode font (IDAutomation font or Unicode Monospace font).
  • VectorType – (only for vector output) Indicates the type of vector image for output encoded text (SVG, EPS, or HTML).
  • ApplyTilde - Enables processing of the tilde for purposes of encoding ASCII functions. For example, ~009 encodes ASCII 9, the tab function.
  • EccLevel - The level of error correction used to create the barcode.
  • EncodingMode - Various modes used to Data represented in the symbol may be encoded by one of these types: Binary or Text).
  • NumColumns - The number of columns in the PDF417 barcode.
  • NumRows - The number of rows in the PDF417 barcode.
  • Truncate - The right-hand side of the PDF417 Is removed Or truncated.
  • QuietZone - Defines the size of a blank zone around the code.
  • ModuleSize - Defines the size of each module in pixels. The ModuleSize parameter can control the size of BMP images, however, a multiplicative factor is added to avoid a strange "blur" effect that occurs with low values with SVG and HTML images.
