Declaration

C#

public Task ExportAsync(
    byte[] binaryData,
    Stream stream,
    DXImageFormat format = null
)

VB.NET

Public Function ExportAsync(
    binaryData As Byte(),
    stream As Stream,
    format As DXImageFormat = Nothing
) As Task

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
binaryData	Byte[]	The binary data to encode as a barcode.
stream	Stream	The stream to which the barcode image will be written.

Optional Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
format	DXImageFormat	null	(Optional) The image format for the exported barcode. If null, the default format is used.

Returns

Type	Description
Task	A task that represents the asynchronous export operation.

Remarks

The following code snippet encodes text to a QR code and exports it as an SVG image asynchronously:

C#

using DevExpress.Docs;
using DevExpress.Docs.Barcode;
using DevExpress.Drawing;
using System.Drawing;

namespace ConsoleApp1;

public class Program {
    public static async Task Main(string[] _) {

        // Configure QR code options.
        QRCodeOptions qrOptions = new QRCodeOptions {
            ErrorCorrectionLevel = QRCodeErrorCorrectionLevel.H,
            CompactionMode = QRCodeCompactionMode.Auto,
            IncludeQuietZone = false,
            Version = QRCodeVersion.Version10,
            ModuleSize = 40,
            BackColor = Color.LightGray,
            ShowText = false,
            Padding = new Padding(5),
            BorderWidth = 1,
            BorderColor = Color.Blue,
            Width = 500,
            Height = 500,
        };

        using BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(qrOptions);

        // Export binary data as a QR code in SVG format asynchronously.
        using (FileStream stream = new FileStream("D:\\qrcode_text.svg", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write)) {
            byte[] data = { 0x48, 0x65, 0x6C, 0x6C, 0x6F };
            await generator.ExportAsync(data, stream, DXImageFormat.Svg);
        }
    }
}
