class DatamatrixBarcodeData(BarcodeData): 
Remarks

The DatamatrixBarcodeData class derives from the base BarcodeData to add specific data that can be read or written when using Datamatrix barcodes.

Reading Barcodes

When the BarcodeReader object detects and reads a Datamatrix ( BarcodeSymbology.Datamatrix), the BarcodeReader.ReadBarcode and BarcodeReader.ReadBarcodes methods will return the DatamatrixBarcodeData object for each barcode cast down to the base BarcodeData class.

You can perform standard .NET casting to get the object as DatamatrixBarcodeData and then examine the extra data properties associated with it.

In addition to all the data members returned as usual in the base BarcodeData object, this class adds the following members:

In addition to the members above, other Datamatrix read options not related to the barcode data can be set using the DatamatrixBarcodeReadOptions class.

Writing Barcodes

The BarcodeWriter class contains the WriteBarcode method that is used to write a barcode to an image. This method accepts the data parameter as the base BarcodeData object. To write a Datamatrix barcode, create an instance of DatamatrixBarcodeData and fill the required parameters, then pass this object as the data parameter to WriteBarcode.

In addition to all the data members that must be set as usual in the base BarcodeData object, also specify the following members:

In addition to the members above, other Datamatrix write options not related to the barcode data can be set using the DatamatrixBarcodeWriteOptions class.

You can use the static (or Shared in VB) BarcodeData.CreateDefaultBarcodeData method to create a new instance of DatamatrixBarcodeData that contains default parameters ready for writing to an image:

vb[VB Snippet] 
Dim datamatrixData As DatamatrixBarcodeData = DirectCast(BarcodeData.CreateDefaultBarcodeData(BarcodeSymbology.Datamatrix), DatamatrixBarcodeData) 
C# Snippet
DatamatrixBarcodeData datamatrixData = BarcodeData.CreateDefaultBarcodeData(BarcodeSymbology.Datamatrix) as DatamatrixBarcodeData; 
Example

This example writes a couple of Datamatrix barcodes with different options to an image and then reads them back.
