Data Matrix Barcode FAQ for Winforms

Terrek Data Matrix Barcode Generator for .NET Winforms is designed and developed to implement the simplicity of Data Matrix generation in .NET Windows Forms Applications. This mature control generator DLL could be inserted into Winforms thus Data Matrix barcode images could be created on the form.

In this page, more details of the following aspects of Data Matrix barcode generation in .NET Winform are presented:

Terrek also provides more Data Matrix barcode generators for solutions in distinct developing environments, including Data Matrix Office Add-in for Excel, Data Matrix Java Generator, and Data Matrix Crystal Report DLL.

Data Matrix Winforms Control encodes above data with the following data modes:

The smallest unit in a Data Matrix is called module. Data Matrix modules are small squares in dark and light colors. The size of the module is measured by the float value of BarWidth property. Pixel, cm, and inch could be used as the unit of measure.

As QR Code version to QR Code, Data Matrix Format Mode defines how many modules are included in the generated barcode symbol. Square (10X10-144X144) and rectangular (8X18-16X48) arrangements are supported.

Increasing the width of margins around the symbol is one way to enhance the readability of the Data Matrix barcode image. The control library set the left, right, top, and bottom margins separately with float values.

If the breakdown parameters are not provided, you can set the width and height of the barcode image directly. Once you enabled the image resize function, you only need to provide the size of entire barcode image. This intelligent Data Matrix will draw the barcode with reasonable parameters. The generated Data Matrix is 100% compatible with ISO / IEC 16022 (2nd edition 2006-09-15).

With Terrek Barcode Winforms Control DLL, Data Matrix is created as high quality GIF, JPEG, or PNG graphic images. Tiff and Bitmap are supported as well. Please ensure the accordance of image format and suffix of image file name.

DPI (Dots per inch) is used commonly as the measure of printing resolution. The resolution of image generated by Data Matrix generator could be managed with DPI.

In case of any specified requirement of the image orientation, image rotation function is added to the control library. Rotation angles of 90, 180, and 270 degrees are supported.

Data Matrix Barcode Winforms Control could be integrated into the following types of projects:
