BarcodeSettings.ChecksumValidation

BarcodeSettings.ChecksumValidation property

Enable checksum validation during recognition for 1D and Postal barcodes.

Default is treated as Yes for symbologies which must contain checksum, as No where checksum only possible.

Checksum never used: Codabar, PatchCode, Pharmacode, DataLogic2of5

Checksum is possible: Code39 Standard/Extended, Standard2of5, Interleaved2of5, ItalianPost25, Matrix2of5, MSI, ItalianPost25, DeutschePostIdentcode, DeutschePostLeitcode, VIN

Checksum always used: Rest symbologies

public ChecksumValidation ChecksumValidation { get; set; }

Property Value

Enable checksum validation during recognition for 1D and Postal barcodes.

Examples

This sample shows influence of ChecksumValidation on recognition quality and results

[C#]
using (BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.EAN13, "1234567890128"))
{
    generator.Save(@"c:\test.png");
}
using (BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(@"c:\test.png", DecodeType.EAN13))
{
    //checksum disabled
    reader.BarcodeSettings.ChecksumValidation = ChecksumValidation.Off;
    foreach (BarCodeResult result in reader.ReadBarCodes())
    {
        Console.WriteLine("BarCode CodeText: " + result.CodeText);
        Console.WriteLine("BarCode Value: " + result.Extended.OneD.Value);
        Console.WriteLine("BarCode Checksum: " + result.Extended.OneD.CheckSum);
    }
