Name	Description

Remarks

Use the Charset property to specify the set of symbols which can be used when setting the BarCode.CodeText property of a Code 128 bar code. If the characters specified in the CodeText property are not allowed by the charset, a Exception exception is thrown with the message “There are invalid characters in the text”.

Note

If the code text may contain any ASCII symbol, set the Charset property value to Code128CharacterSet.CharsetAuto.
