﻿KanjiKanaEncodeDecodeVB is a simple Barcode Xpress for .NET Framework application (VB)
showing how to create and read QR barcodes with Japanese Kanji/Kana symbols.

Requirements
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Visual Studio 2012-2019 to build the sample.

For the full list of requirements to run the sample, refer to the Barcode Xpress for .NET help.

Running the Sample
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Open the solution file (KanjiKanaEncodeDecodeVB.sln) in Visual Studio and build it.
* Click the "Run" button, or press "F5" to run the program.

You can also run this program from the command line. After you have built the 
sample, change the directory to the sample output location (by default this is 
KanjiKanaEncodeDecodeVB/bin/Debug), and start the app:

  .\KanjiKanaEncodeDecodeVB.exe


This will run the sample and you should see output like this:

  QR Code image with Kanji string has been created successfully: testfile.bmp.
  QR Code image with Kanji string has been recognized.
  Barcode value: 日本語の漢字 - Barcode Xpress Sample** UNLICENSED accusoft.com

You can find the created image in the same folder - "testfile.bmp".
Your current console font might not have support of Kanji/Kana symbols.
If you don't see the correct output change Console window -> Properties -> Font 
to another TrueType font with Japanese symbols support, e.g. "MS Gothic".

NOTE: Barcode Xpress runs in Watermark evaluation mode if started without a license and the barcode value will be partially hidden.
