Integrating Aztec Code Generation in C#

A professional developer's guide to using cruflbcsnet.dll for high-performance barcode encoding.

Implementation Details

Add a project reference to cruflbcsnet.dll and include the using crUFLBcsNet; directive.

Apply the bcsaztec.ttf font to the resulting string to render the barcode visually.

AztecGenerator.cs

using System;
using crUFLBcsNet; // Ensure DLL is referenced

namespace AztecEncodingApp
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Initialize the Barcodesoft Aztec Object
            crUFLBcsNet.CAztec aztec = new crUFLBcsNet.CAztec();

            string inputData = "Hello, World!";

            // Method 1: Standard Encoding
            string str = aztec.Encode(inputData);
            Console.WriteLine("Standard Output: " + str);

            // Method 2: Advanced Encoding for Crystal Reports (EncodeCR)
            // Param 1: Input String
            // Param 2: Index (Always 0)
            // Param 3: Format (0 = Auto Selection)
            // Param 4: Error Correction (0 = Default 23%)
            string str2 = aztec.EncodeCR(inputData, 0, 0, 0);

            Console.WriteLine("Crystal Reports Output: " + str2);

            // IMPORTANT: Format the output strings with bcsaztec.ttf font
        }
    }
}

Parameter	Value	SEO Description
Index	0	Sequence index for barcode placement.
Format	0	Enables automatic selection for optimal Aztec sizing.
Error Correction	0	Applies a standard 23% error correction level.
