Swiss-QR-Code Encoding Problems

Aspose.BarCode Product Family

Hello

We are using Aspose.BarCode 19.11.0.0 and have problems with the generated qrcodes. When we validate the generated qrcodes with the SIX-QRCode-Validator there are problems with the special characters.

How can we fix this?

@tannerap,
Please try this scenario with the latest version Aspose.BarCode 21.8 and check if still issue is there or not. If you find the issue with the latest version, share your runnable sample code, output image and expected image generated by some third party tool for our reference. We also need the link to the SIX-QRCode-Validator along with the steps to validate, that you are using for the validation.

I’ve now tried the latest version and have still the same problems.

		generator.Parameters.Barcode.Padding.Right.Millimeters = 0;
		generator.Parameters.ImageWidth.Millimeters = 46;
		generator.Parameters.Barcode.QR.CodeTextEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
		generator.Parameters.Barcode.QR.QrECIEncoding = ECIEncodings.ISO_8859_1;
		generator.Save(@"C:\tmp\qr.png", BarCodeImageFormat.Png);

The problem is in these two rows

This could solve the problem.

//remove generator.Parameters.Barcode.QR.CodeTextEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
generator.Parameters.Barcode.QR.QrEncodeMode = QREncodeMode.ECIEncoding;
generator.Parameters.Barcode.QR.QrECIEncoding = ECIEncodings.UTF8;

Yes, now it works.
Thanks
