Properties

Name	Description
AddStartStopChar { get; set; }	Gets or sets whether to add Start/Stop characters for barcode types NW7 and CODE39.
BackgroundColor { get; set; }	Gets or sets the background color of the barcode symbol. Valid values are in the range [0, 0xFFFFFF]

FixCheckDigit { get; set; }	Gets or sets whether to fix the check digit if it’s invalid.
ForegroundColor { get; set; }	Gets or sets the foreground color of the barcode symbol. Valid values are in the range [0, 0xFFFFFF]
Format { get; }	Gets a `FieldFormat` object that provides typed access to field’s formatting.
IsDirty { get; set; }	Gets or sets whether the current result of the field is no longer correct (stale) due to other modifications made to the document.
IsLocked { get; set; }	Gets or sets whether the field is locked (should not recalculate its result).
LocaleId { get; set; }	Gets or sets the LCID of the field.
PosCodeStyle { get; set; }	Gets or sets the style of a Point of Sale barcode (barcode types UPCA\|UPCE\|EAN13\|EAN8). The valid values (case insensitive) are [STD\|SUP2\|SUP5\|CASE].
Result { get; set; }	Gets or sets text that is between the field separator and field end.
ScalingFactor { get; set; }	Gets or sets a scaling factor for the symbol. The value is in whole percentage points and the valid values are [10, 1000]
Separator { get; }	Gets the node that represents the field separator. Can be `null`.
Start { get; }	Gets the node that represents the start of the field.

Methods

Name	Description
GetFieldCode()	Returns text between field start and field separator (or field end if there is no separator). Both field code and field result of child fields are included.
GetFieldCode(bool)	Returns text between field start and field separator (or field end if there is no separator).
Remove()	Removes the field from the document. Returns a node right after the field. If the field’s end is the last child of its parent node, returns its parent paragraph. If the field is already removed, returns `null`.
Unlink()	Performs the field unlink.
Update()	Performs the field update. Throws if the field is being updated already.
Update(bool)	Performs a field update. Throws if the field is being updated already.

Remarks

Mail merge a barcode.
