.NET Data Matrix Generator for .NET, C#, ASP.NET, VB.NET

Create & Generate Data Matrix Barcodes in C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET

Data Matrix code is a two-dimensional matrix barcode consisting of black and white "cells" or modules arranged in either a square or rectangular pattern. The information to be encoded can be text or raw data. Usual data size is from a few bytes up to 2 kilobytes. The length of the encoded data depends on the symbol dimension used. Error correction codes are added to increase symbol strength: even if they are partially damaged, they can still be read. A Data Matrix symbol can store up to 2,335 alphanumeric characters.

.NET Barcode Data Matrix prints:

• all 128 characters of ASCII
• values 128-255 in accordance with ISO 8859-1. There are referred to as extended ASCII.

   using BusinessRefinery.Barcode;

   // construct a DataMatrix barcode object
   DataMatrix barcode = new DataMatrix();  
    
   // set Data Matrix code text to encode		      
   barcode.Code = "Data Matrix in C#";  
    
   //draw barcode and save Data Matrix into image file in gif format   
   barcode.drawBarcode2ImageFile("data-matrix-in-csharp.gif");    

// construct a DataMatrix barcode object
Dim barcode As BusinessRefinery.Barcode.DataMatrix
barcode = New BusinessRefinery.Barcode.DataMatrix()

// set Data Matrix code text to encode	
barcode.Code = "Data Matrix in VB.NET"

//draw barcode and save into image file in gif format  
barcode.drawBarcode2ImageFile("data-matrix-in-vbnet.gif")

3. How to draw Data Matrix barcodes to image files (GIF, JPEG, BMP, PNG, & TIFF)?

            using BusinessRefinery.Barcode;

            DataMatrix barcode = new DataMatrix();
            barcode.Code = "Data Matrix in C#";
            barcode.drawBarcode2ImageFile("data-matrix-in-csharp.png");

4. How to draw & print Data Matrix barcodes to .NET objects like Graphics, Stream, Bitmap?

            using BusinessRefinery.Barcode;

            DataMatrix barcode = new DataMatrix();
            barcode.Code = "C# Data Matrix Generator";

            barcode.drawBarcode2Stream("Stream object");

            Bitmap barcodeInBitmap = barcode.drawBarcodeOnBitmap();

            barcode.drawBarcodeOnGraphics("Graphics object");
