## MaxiCodeEncodeMode enumeration

Encoding mode for MaxiCode barcodes.

```csharp
public enum MaxiCodeEncodeMode
```

### Values

| Name | Value | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Auto | `0` | In Auto mode, the CodeText is encoded with maximum data compactness. Unicode characters are re-encoded in the ECIEncoding specified encoding with the insertion of an ECI identifier. If a character is found that is not supported by the selected ECI encoding, an exception is thrown. |
| Extended | `3` | Extended mode which supports multi ECI modes. |
| Binary | `4` | In Binary mode, the CodeText is encoded with maximum data compactness. If a Unicode character is found, an exception is thrown. |
| ECI | `5` | In ECI mode, the entire message is re-encoded in the ECIEncoding specified encoding with the insertion of an ECI identifier. If a character is found that is not supported by the selected ECI encoding, an exception is thrown. Please note that some old (pre 2006) scanners may not support this mode. |

## Examples

```csharp
[C#]
//Auto mode
var codetext = "犬Right狗";
using (var generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.MaxiCode, codetext))
{
    generator.Parameters.Barcode.MaxiCode.ECIEncoding = ECIEncodings.UTF8;
    generator.Save("test.bmp");
}

//Bytes mode
byte[] encodedArr = { 0xFF, 0xFE, 0xFD, 0xFC, 0xFB, 0xFA, 0xF9 };
using (var generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.MaxiCode))
{
    generator.SetCodetext(encodedArr);
    generator.Parameters.Barcode.MaxiCode.MaxiCodeEncodeMode = MaxiCodeEncodeMode.Binary;
    generator.Save("test.bmp");
}

//Extended codetext mode
//create codetext
MaxiCodeExtCodetextBuilder textBuilder = new MaxiCodeExtCodetextBuilder();
textBuilder.AddECICodetext(ECIEncodings.Win1251, "Will");
textBuilder.AddECICodetext(ECIEncodings.UTF8, "犬Right狗");
textBuilder.AddECICodetext(ECIEncodings.UTF16BE, "犬Power狗");
textBuilder.AddPlainCodetext("Plain text");

//generate codetext
string codetext = textBuilder.GetExtendedCodetext();    

//generate
using(BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.MaxiCode, codetext))
{
    generator.Parameters.Barcode.MaxiCode.MaxiCodeEncodeMode = MaxiCodeEncodeMode.Extended;
    generator.Parameters.Barcode.CodeTextParameters.TwoDDisplayText = "My Text";
	generator.Save("test.bmp");
}
```
