Datamatrix barcodes with Visual Studio

[former_member1367299]

How do I print a datamatrix barcode in Crystal Reports for Visual Studio?

If I can't, and I were to license a developer's version of Crystal, would I be able to distribute and print a datamatrix through the run-time module?

Thanks for the mention, Don.

Yes, my CUT Light UFL allows you to generate barcode images "on the fly " using the 'Graphic Location' expression of a dummy image (that gets replaced by the barcode image). See details here.

The advantage of using images instead of special fonts is that you remove the dependency on the font. But if you'd like to use the special font approach, a simple Google search would land you on solutions such as this one.
