Creating QR-Code barcode in .NET Core C# class example:

   using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using OnBarcode.Barcode;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
using System.Drawing;


QRCode qrcode = new QRCode();

// Barcode data to encode
qrcode.Data = "ONBARCODE";
// QR-Code data mode
qrcode.DataMode = QRCodeDataMode.AlphaNumeric;
// QR-Code format mode
//qrcode.Version = QRCodeVersion.V10;

/*
* Barcode Image Related Settings
*/
// Unit of meature for all size related setting in the library.
qrcode.UOM = UnitOfMeasure.PIXEL;
// Bar module size (X), default is 3 pixel;
qrcode.X = 3;
// Barcode image left, right, top, bottom margins. Defaults are 0.
qrcode.LeftMargin = 0;
qrcode.RightMargin = 0;
qrcode.TopMargin = 0;
qrcode.BottomMargin = 0;
// Image resolution in dpi, default is 72 dpi.
qrcode.Resolution = 72;
// Created barcode orientation.
//4 options are: facing left, facing right, facing bottom, and facing top

qrcode.Rotate = Rotate.Rotate0;

// Generate QR-Code and encode barcode to gif format
qrcode.ImageFormat = System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif;
qrcode.drawBarcode("C:\\qrcode.gif");

/*
You can also call other drawing methods to generate barcodes

public void drawBarcode(Graphics graphics);

public void drawBarcode(string filename);

public Bitmap drawBarcode();

public void drawBarcode(Stream stream);

Generate QR Code Barcode Image inside Specified Area (Width & Height)
Top

To create qr code image inside your specified image width and height, please follow the steps

  • Set property AutoResize to true
  • Set property UOM (unit of measure) to CM or INCH
  • Set property Resolution (dot per inch) to the value, which is highter than your printer's resolution.
  • Set property BarcodeWidth and BarcodeHeight to your required image width and height.
  • Note: the barcode library will ignore the property X and Y values, and it will calculate the max X and Y for you.






Encode GS1 Standard QR Code Barcodes
Top

To create GS1 standard QR-Code barcode, please follow the steps

  • Set property FNC1 to FNC1.FNC1_1ST_POS (1)
  • Set property Data GS1 data. You need around AI code with "()", and followed by AI data, such as "(01)23(02)5555". Here "01", "02" are the AI code, "23", "5555" are the AI data,
