SetCodeText(string, Encoding)

Encodes codetext with byte order mark (BOM), using specified encoding: like UTF8, UTF16, UTF32, e.t.c.. 1D barcodes should use Encoding.ASCII or ISO/IEC 8859-1 - Encoding.GetEncoding(28591). 2D barcodes should use Encoding.UTF8.

public void SetCodeText(string codeText, Encoding encoding)
ParameterTypeDescription
codeTextStringCodeText string
encodingEncodingApplied encoding

Examples

This sample shows how to use SetCodeText with 1D and 2D barcodes

[C#]
//Encode codetext of 1D barcodes with 7-bit ASCII encoding, byte order mark (BOM) is absent
using (BarcodeGenerator gen = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.Code128))
{
    gen.SetCodeText("123ABCD", Encoding.ASCII);
    gen.Save("barcode.png", BarCodeImageFormat.Png);
}
//Encode codetext of 1D barcodes with 8-bit ISO/IEC 8859-1 encoding, byte order mark (BOM) is absent
using (BarcodeGenerator gen = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.Code128))
{
    gen.SetCodeText("123ABCD", Encoding.GetEncoding(28591));
    gen.Save("barcode.png", BarCodeImageFormat.Png);
}
//Encode codetext of 2D barcodes with UTF8 encoding with byte order mark (BOM)
using (BarcodeGenerator gen = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.Code128))
{
    gen.SetCodeText("123ABCD", Encoding.UTF8);
    gen.Save("barcode.png", BarCodeImageFormat.Png);
}

SetCodeText(string, Encoding, bool)

Encodes codetext with optional byte order mark (BOM) insertion, using specified encoding: like UTF8, UTF16, UTF32, e.t.c.. 1D barcodes should use Encoding.ASCII or ISO/IEC 8859-1 - Encoding.GetEncoding(28591). 2D barcodes should use Encoding.UTF8.

public void SetCodeText(string codeText, Encoding encoding, bool insertBOM)
ParameterTypeDescription
codeTextStringCodeText string
encodingEncodingApplied encoding
insertBOMBooleanflag indicates insertion of the Encoding byte order mark (BOM). In case, the Encoding requires byte order mark (BOM) insertion: like UTF8, UTF16, UTF32, e.t.c. and flag is set to true, the BOM is added, in case of setting flag to false, the BOM insertion is ignored.

    gen.SetCodeText("123ABCD", Encoding.UTF8, false);
