Get Barcode Results

The AnalyzehDib method is used to recognize the barcodes in the image.

Methods

Method	Description
GetBarcode	Returns access to the result properties with data of the given barcode index.
GetBarcodeResultDataValue	Gets the BarcodeResult as an array of bytes.
GetModeTransition	Returns the mode transitions for the barcode.

ModeTransitionType	Gets the type of the mode transition.
Result2DRowsDetected	Gets the number of rows detected for the recognized 2D barcode.
Result2DColumnsDetected	Gets the number of columns detected for the recognized 2D barcode.
Result2DRows	Gets the number of rows defined by the indicator pattern for the recognized 2D barcode.
Result2DColumns	Gets the number of columns defined by the indicator pattern for the recognized 2D barcode.
Result2DErrorCorrectionLevel	Gets the error correction level detected for the recognized 2D barcode.

Order of Results

Since Barcode Xpress can return multiple barcode results from a single scan, the detected barcode results (both solved and unsolved) will be sorted using the following criteria. Note that all solved barcodes will be ordered before unsolved barcodes.

First, the confidence factor is used to sort the barcode results from highest confidence to lowest. The Confidence property gets the confidence of the barcode that was recognized.
Next, for any barcodes with the same confidence, they will then be sorted by their location, from top to bottom, then left to right.

1D barcode values are generally 7 bit ASCII, except for Code 128, which permits the use of 8 bit data. If you are using values above 127, you must use the GetBarcodeResultDataValue method instead of the BarcodeResult property, and your data must be encoded. Also, the reader and writer must both use the same character set.

See the Barcode Xpress Overview topic for code examples on recognition results.
