Barcode Xpress for .NET Framework Samples

A set of minimal Barcode Xpress for .NET Framework applications written for C# and VB.NET. Each language has the following samples:

• read-barcodes - Demonstrates how to read barcodes from an image.
• write-barcodes-1d - Demonstrates how to generate a 1D Code 39 Barcode.
• write-barcodes-2d - Demonstrates how to generate a 2D DataMatrix Barcode.
• kanji-kana-encode-decode - Demonstrates how to create and read QR barcodes with Japanese Kanji/Kana symbols.

The samples use Barcode Xpress for .NET Framework NuGet package.

Requirements

Visual Studio 2012-2019 and .NET Framework 4.0 - 4.8 to build and run the samples.

For the full list of requirements to run the sample, refer to the Barcode Xpress for .NET Framework help.

For the writer and Kanji/Kana samples, a file called test-barcodes.bmp will be created in the bin/Debug folder that contains the generated barcode image.

NOTE: Barcode Xpress runs in Watermark evaluation mode if started without a license and the barcode value will be partially hidden. If you would like to do a full-featured evaluation of the product, contact us.
