Below mentioned are some of the key features of the BarCode control:

• Support for numerous BarCode symbologies

  BarCode provides support for both one-dimensional and two-dimensional barcodes. The BarCode control supports at least 50 different types of encodings, such as Codabar, Code128 Auto, Code39, Code93, DataMatrix, Ean13, Ean8, PostNet, QRCode, and RSS14 etc. Go to the Supported Barcode Types topic for the full list.

• Selective Encoding

  The BarCode control gives an exception in case the encoding type does not work for an input value or text. This is because certain encodings have limitations with respect to the type of text it can represent. So, if the value of the Text property cannot be represented using the current encoding, then the error message will be displayed by the control.

• Add Checksums

  The BarCode control automatically adds necessary control symbols and checksums to the value being encoded, depending on the encoding being used, to guarantee a good read on your barcodes.

• Easy to use

  BarCode for WPF is easy to use. The user needs to just add the control to the form, set the encoding type, and they are done.

• Customize appearance

  Barcode provides dedicated class for bar direction, bar height and text color which makes it easier to customize the appearance of the control. Go to Customization topic for more information.

• Styling

  BarCode allows you to enhance the appearance of the control by changing the Foreground color and font size of the input text. Refer to the Styling and Appearance topic for more information.
