    Encode Barcode 128 with subsets

    Hi

    I need to encode a BC128 barcode (and save as a graphic file).

    I've been looking for a nuget package which will support use of subsets and found that zxing.net (which I've used a little for reading some codes in the past) supports this - from github:

    DPD, a courier in the UK, require their barcodes to switch from subset B to C at specific points, so I've added an encoding hint to manually trigger subset switches

    In fact it's a DPD code I'm trying to create, so zxing.net ought to be a good solution for me. The problem is I can't find any examples or info on how it works.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks!

    Have you looked in the Object Explorer to see what types and members the library contains? That will only provide limited information but, if everything is well named, it's a good place to start and will hopefully provide an idea of what you can test with some trial and error.

    I fear it's going to be too complicated to piece together in that way, but I will try.

    There are a few other options out there - the download from this youtube vid:

    ... is quite clear in what it does, but is geared towards the whole barcode being one subset, not changing part-way through, so I need to try and figure this out.

    This is the problem where there are a few options - each takes a while to explore!
