How to Generate Data Matrix with C#, VB.NET Class in ASP.NET?
Copy those following sample code to your ASP.NET project:
using BusinessRefinery.Barcode;
DataMatrix barcode = new DataMatrix();
barcode.Code = "Data Matrix";
barcode.Resolution = 104;
barcode.Rotate = Rotate.Rotate180;
barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Gif;
barcode.drawBarcode2ImageFile("c:/data-matrix-csharp.gif");
Dim barcode As BusinessRefinery.Barcode.DataMatrix =
New BusinessRefinery.Barcode.DataMatrix()
barcode.Code = "Data Matrix"
barcode.Resolution = 104
