VintaSoft Barcode .NET SDK Discussions

Hello.

I have just purchased and downloaded the Barcode Writer SDK.

I have installed, referenced and registered DLL.

I am trying to create a barcode using the exact code from the online documentation:

' create the barcode writer
Dim barcodeWriter As New BarcodeWriter()

' set barcode writer settings
barcodeWriter.Settings.Barcode = BarcodeType.Code128
barcodeWriter.Settings.Value = "012345abcde"

' get a barcode image
Dim image As Image = barcodeWriter.GetBarcodeAsBitmap()

' save the barcode image to a file
image.Save("imageWihBarcode.png")

When I run the above code I get the exception:
"The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character, more than two padding characters, or an illegal character among the padding characters."

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks in advance.
Mike

Hi Alex.

Thank you for your quick response.

You were correct, the reg code was wrong. I opened the email in another client and copied it from there.

All sorted now.

Thanks again.

Mike
