How to Generate a Data Matrix Code in C#

Creating a Data Matrix barcode in C# involves these simple steps:

  1. Instantiate the BarcodeGenerator class, specifying the EncodeType.
  2. Define the barcode dimensions and encoding options.
  3. Save the barcode image to a file.

Here’s a C# example for generating a Data Matrix barcode:

Generate ECC200 Data Matrix Barcode in C#

The ECC200 standard enhances Data Matrix barcodes with error correction capabilities, ensuring better readability even when partially damaged. Follow these steps to create a Data Matrix ECC200 barcode:

  1. Instantiate BarcodeGenerator and set the desired EncodeType.
  2. Adjust the pixel size and specify ECC200 as the encoding mode.
  3. Use the Save() method to generate the barcode image.
