.NET Barcode Data Matrix Generator for .NET, C#, ASP.NET, VB.NET
.NET Barcode offers the most affordable .NET barcode generator for barcode .NET professionals.
.NET Data Matrix Introduction
Data Matrix is also known as Data Matrix, ECC200.
DataMatrix is a two-dimensional
(2D) barcode symbology which can store from 1 to about 2,000 characters.
DataMatrix ECC200 version supports advanced encoding error checking and
correction algorithms (reed-solomon). Those algorithms allow the recognition of
barcodes that are up to 60% damaged.
How to generate Data Matrix barcodes in C#.NET Class?
The following C# .NET code illustrates how to generate a Data Matrix barcode in C# class:
using KeepDynamic.Barcode.Generator;
DataMatrix barcode = new DataMatrix();
barcode.CodeText = "Data Matrix in C#";
barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png;
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-datamatrix-csharp.png");
barcode.drawBarcode("Graphics object");
barcode.drawBarcode("Stream object");
How to generate Data Matrix barcodes in VB.NET Class?
The following VB.NET code illustrates how to generate Data Matrix barcodes in VB.NET class:
// Create Data Matrix barcode object in VB.NET
Dim barcode As KeepDynamic.Barcode.Generator.DataMatrix
barcode = New KeepDynamic.Barcode.Generator.DataMatrix()
// Set Data Matrix barcode value in VB.NET
barcode.CodeText = "Data Matrix in VB.NET"
// Set Data Matrix drawing image format to PNG in VB.NET
barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png
// Generate Data Matrix barcode & encode to the png image in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-datamatrix-vbnet.png")
// Generate Data Matrix barcode & print to System.Drawing.Graphics object in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("Graphics object")
// Create Data Matrix barcode & draw to System.IO.Stream object in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("Stream object")
Creating Data Matrix barcodes using .NET Barcode Generator Windows Form Control
To create Data Matrix barcodes in Windows Forms applications, do the following procedures:
- Add KeepDynamic.BarCode.Windows.dll to your C#, VB.NET project reference
- Add KeepDynamic.BarCode.Windows.dll to windows project toolbox
- Drag the DataMatrixControl item to your windows forms
Creating Data Matrix barcodes using ASP.NET Barcode Generator ASP.NET Web Form Control
To create Data Matrix barcodes in ASP.NET Web Forms applications, do the following procedures:
- Add KeepDynamic.BarCode.AspNet.dll to your C#, VB.NET project reference
- Add KeepDynamic.BarCode.AspNet.dll to windows project toolbox
- Drag the DataMatrixControl item to your ASP.NET Web form pages, in your ASP.NET design view

DataMatrixDataMode.ASCII |
Set data matrix data mode property.
- Auto (0): Barcode library will decide the best data mode for you.
- ASCII (1): it is used to encode data that mainly contains ASCII characters (0-127). This is the default encoding format by Barcode Library.
- C40 (2): it is used to encode data that mainly contains numeric and upper case characters.
- Text (3): it is used to encode data that mainly contains numeric and lower case characters.
- X12 (4):it is used to encode the standard ANSI X12 electronic data interchange characters.
- EDIFACT (5): it is used to encode 63 ASCII values (values from 32 to 94) plus an Unlatch character (binary 011111).
- Base256 (6): it is used to encode 8 bit values.
