Property Value

A DataMatrixEncoding enumeration member specifying the data encoding for this DataMatrix barcode.

Remarks

If the data to encode contains only numbers (ASCII characters from 0x30 to 0x39), then DataMatrixEncoding.Numeric provides the best encoding. If the data to encode contains only base ASCII characters (0x00 to 0x7F), then both DataMatrixEncoding.ASCII and DataMatrixEncoding.Base256 encoding provide the same performance, but if the data to encode contains more than 3 extended ASCII characters (0x80 to 0xFF) then the DataMatrixEncoding.Base256 encoding is the best option.
If the selected encoding is DataMatrixEncoding.Auto, then the library will select the encoding that will generate the smallest encoded data.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
