HOW TO: Convert Encoding of Recognized BarcodeData

Attached is a project that uses our .NET Core Barcode libraries to recognize and display the encoded data within barcodes. Occasionally, some barcodes may be encoded in different formats such as ISO-8859-1, rather than contain only ASCII characters.

For example, the link below contains a Datamatrix barcode with ISO-8859-1 / Latin1 encoding. When recognized using our libraries, the default BarcodeData.Value() method displays the data incorrectly using special characters. By using the .NET frameworks "Encoding" class, you can convert the recognized data into another encoding type and display the values correctly.

Before/After conversion results:
"L?hmung" -> "Lähmung"
"Schlo?str" -> "Schloßstr"
