Generate Data Matrix Code in C#

Generating a Data Matrix code in C# is a simple process. Follow these steps:

  1. Create an instance of the BarcodeGenerator class and specify the desired EncodeType.
  2. Configure the pixel size and encoding mode for the Data Matrix code.
  3. Save the generated Data Matrix code as a PNG image.

Here’s a code sample demonstrating how to generate a Data Matrix code in C#:

Generate Data Matrix ECC200 Code in C#

To generate a Data Matrix code compliant with the ECC200 standard, follow these steps:

  1. Instantiate the BarcodeGenerator class, passing the input text and desired EncodeType as parameters.
  2. Set the pixel size and specify the Data Matrix type as ECC.
  3. Use the Save method to write the Data Matrix ECC200 barcode.
