Class QRCodeWriter

A class allowing for advanced control on the generation of QR type barcodes.

QRCodeWriter gives the developer access to set QR code error correction levels, and to add logo images to QR codes.

Generated Barcodes can be exported as Images, Bitmaps, Files and Streams.

Inheritance

System.Object

QRCodeWriter

Namespace: IronBarCode

Assembly: IronBarCode.dll

Syntax

public static class QRCodeWriter : Object

Methods

CreateQrCode(Byte[], Int32, QRCodeWriter.QrErrorCorrectionLevel, Int32)

Renders a QR code.

Overload methods and methods of the created GeneratedBarcode object allow for barcode sizes and colors to be customized. Logos & Branding may also be added using the CreateQrCodeWithLogo method.

Declaration

public static GeneratedBarcode CreateQrCode(byte[] binaryData, int size = 500, QRCodeWriter.QrErrorCorrectionLevel errorCorrection, int qrVersion = 0)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Byte[]	binaryData	The value of the QR code as a byte array.
System.Int32	size	The width and height of the QR code in pixels.
QRCodeWriter.QrErrorCorrectionLevel	errorCorrection	The error correction level of the QR code.
System.Int32	qrVersion	The symbol version of the QR Code. The default value 0 will automatically assign an appropriate QR version for your data (highly recommended).

Returns

Type	Description
GeneratedBarcode	A GeneratedBarcode object for the QR code which can be manipulated, annotated and saved to a System.Drawing.Image, an object, image file, PDF, MediaURL or data stream.

CreateQrCode(Stream, Int32, QRCodeWriter.QrErrorCorrectionLevel, Int32)

QRCodeWriter.QrErrorCorrectionLevel	errorCorrection	The error correction level of the QR code.
System.Int32	qrVersion	The symbol version of the QR Code. The default value 0 will automatically assign an appropriate QR version for your data (highly recommended).

Returns

Type	Description
GeneratedBarcode	A GeneratedBarcode object for the QR code which can be manipulated, annotated and saved to a System.Drawing.Image, an object, image file, PDF, MediaURL or data stream.

CreateQrCodeWithLogo(Byte[], QRCodeLogo, Int32, Int32)

Renders a QR code of given dimensions with a logo image at its center.

Declaration

public static GeneratedBarcode CreateQrCodeWithLogo(byte[] binaryData, QRCodeLogo qrCodeLogo, int size = 500, int qrVersion = 0)

Parameters
