Code 93

This topic describes how to insert a barcode control of the Code 93 symbology (code type) into a report. In addition, it gives a short description of the Code 93 code type. To learn more about barcodes in XtraReports see the Barcodes Overview topic.

Code 93 was designed to supplement and improve upon Code 39. Code 93 is similar in that, like Code 39, can represent the full ASCII character set by using combinations of 2 characters. It differs in that Code 93 is a continuous symbology and produces denser code. It also encodes 47 characters compared to Code 39's 43 characters.

The following properties should be set to specify a particular barcode of the Code 93 type:

• BarCodeGeneratorBase.CalcCheckSum. This property is used to specify whether to calculate a checksum for the barcode or not. The default value is true.
