BarcodeData Constructor(BarcodeSymbology,string)

Summary

Initializes a new instance of the BarcodeData class with specified symbology and ASCII text value.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++

Java

public BarcodeData( 
   BarcodeSymbology symbology, 
   string value 
)

Public Function New( _ 
   ByVal symbology As BarcodeSymbology, _ 
   ByVal value As String _ 
)

- (instancetype)initWithSymbology:(LTBarcodeSymbology)symbology  
                            value:(nullable NSString *)value

public BarcodeData( 
  BarcodeSymbology symbology, 
  String value 
)

public: 
BarcodeData(  
   BarcodeSymbology symbology, 
   String^ value 
)

Parameters

symbology
Barcode symbology to use.

value
A String that specifies the ASCII text representation of the barcode data.

Remarks

This constructor initializes the BarcodeData member as follows:

Member	Value
Symbology	symbology
Bounds	LeadRect.Empty
RotationAngle	0
BarWidthReduction	0
Byte array inside GetData	The raw value of the bytes array in value. if this parameter is null, then the data is null too.
Value	value.
Tag	null (Nothing in Visual Basic)

To quickly construct a new BarcodeData object with a specific symbology and data as a raw byte array, use BarcodeData(BarcodeSymbology symbology, byte[] data) to construct a default BarcodeData, use BarcodeData().

To create an instance of BarcodeData suitable for writing for a specified symbology, use CreateDefaultBarcodeData.

Example

This example creates a BarcodeData with specified symbology and ASCII text. It then writes it to an image.
