Hi guys,
please, is there any way how to use "byte array" as barcode data?
Both BarcodePDF417Write method overloads expect "string" as data.
I would like to encode raw byte data -> should be possible with PDF 417 (with use of BarcodePDF417EncodingMode.BarcodePDF417EncodingModeByte), correct?
Any idea how to do that without base64 encoding?

Thank you!
Ondrej

Hi,

Just pass the byte array as string using the correct encoding:

Code: Select all

string myString = Encoding.GetEncoding(1252).GetBytes(data);

Kind regards,

Loïc

Hi Loïc,
are you sure it will work?
I mean byte array can contain whatever byte sequence (imagine byte[] from ZIP stream)
I'm afraid that some specific encoding could destroy the data.
What do you think?

Best regards,
Ondrej
