SaveOptions(Stream) Method

Summary
Saves the default read options used for this BarcodeReader to the specified XML stream.
Syntax
C#
C++/CLI
Python
public void SaveOptions( 
   Stream stream 
) 
public: 
void SaveOptions(  
   Stream^ stream 
)  
def SaveOptions(self,stream): 

Parameters

stream
The XML Stream to save the data to.

Remarks

The load/save methods are provided as helper methods for the user. The BarcodeEngine, BarcodeReader and BarcodeWriter do not use these methods internally.

The default read options can be retrieved using the GetDefaultOptions or GetAllDefaultOptions methods. You can then change the values of the BarcodeReadOptions object returned (or cast it back to the appropriate derived class). These options are used by the ReadBarcode and ReadBarcodes methods when no explicit options are passed by the user.

To load the default options from an XML stream, use BarcodeReader.LoadOptions(Stream stream).

To save and load data to an XML file, use BarcodeReader.SaveOptions(string fileName) and BarcodeReader.LoadOptions(string fileName).

Example
C#
using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
using Leadtools.Barcode; 
using Leadtools.ImageProcessing; 
 
 
public void BarcodeReader_LoadSaveOptionsExample() 
{ 
   string xmlFileName = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "MyReadOptions.xml"); 
 
   BarcodeEngine engine1 = new BarcodeEngine(); 
   BarcodeReader reader1 = engine1.Reader; 
 
   // Show a few of the default options 
   ShowReaderOptions("Default options 1:", reader1); 
 
   // Change some options 
   OneDBarcodeReadOptions oneDReadOptions = reader1.GetDefaultOptions(BarcodeSymbology.UPCA) as OneDBarcodeReadOptions; 
   oneDReadOptions.SearchDirection = BarcodeSearchDirection.HorizontalAndVertical; 
   QRBarcodeReadOptions qrReadOptions = reader1.GetDefaultOptions(BarcodeSymbology.QR) as QRBarcodeReadOptions; 
   qrReadOptions.EnableDoublePass = true; 
 
   // Show them 
   ShowReaderOptions("New options 1:", reader1); 
 
   // Save the options to an XML file 
   reader1.SaveOptions(xmlFileName); 
 
   // Now create another BarcodeReader 
   // We could use the same one, but this example will show that changing the options 
   // for one BarcodeReader will not change it in any other in the application 
 
   BarcodeEngine engine2 = new BarcodeEngine(); 
   BarcodeReader reader2 = engine2.Reader; 
 
   // Show a few of the default options, should be the same as the first default options 
   ShowReaderOptions("Default options 2:", reader2); 
 
   // Load the options we just saved 
   reader2.LoadOptions(xmlFileName); 
 
   // Show them, should be the same as the new options in reader1 
   ShowReaderOptions("Loaded options 2:", reader2); 
} 
 
private void ShowReaderOptions(string message, BarcodeReader reader) 
{ 
   Console.WriteLine(message); 
   OneDBarcodeReadOptions oneDReadOptions = reader.GetDefaultOptions(BarcodeSymbology.UPCA) as OneDBarcodeReadOptions; 
   Console.WriteLine("OneDBarcodeReadOptions.SearchDirection: {0}", oneDReadOptions.SearchDirection); 
   QRBarcodeReadOptions qrReadOptions = reader.GetDefaultOptions(BarcodeSymbology.QR) as QRBarcodeReadOptions; 
   Console.WriteLine("QRBarcodeReadOptions.EnableDoublePass: {0}", qrReadOptions.EnableDoublePass); 
   Console.WriteLine("---------------");
