Hello Experts,

I have generated the QR within the Sales Invoice report but the problem is while I am trying to generate the same with Arabic characters it wont appear.

Following are the code.

    Microsoft.Dynamics.QRCode.Encoder   qrCode;
    System.String                       netString;
    str                                 tempFileName;
    System.Drawing.Bitmap               netBitmap;

    FileIOPermission                    perm;
    BinData                             binData;
    container                           imageContainer;

    ;

    netString = _QRDataString;//"ahmed muhammad alam and mohammad el sayed are the best brothers in bakheet along with Mr. Kashif choudry";
    qrCode = new Microsoft.Dynamics.QRCode.Encoder();
    netBitmap = qrCode.Encode(netString); //encode the string as Bitmap can be used already

    tempFileName = qrCode.GetTempFile(netString); //to get the QR temporary file

    perm = new FileIOPermission(tempFileName,'r');
    perm.assert();
    binData = new binData();
    binData.loadFile(tempFileName);
    imageContainer = binData.getData(); //get the QR code image put inside container so can be stored inside database for storing or reporting purpose

    CodeAccessPermission::revertAssert();
    return binData.getData();

Hi Ahmed,

You can try another encoder for QR codes: www.codeproject.com/.../Basic-with-QR-Code-using-Zxing-Library

Dear Andre,

I have tried to download the Zxing project but unable to configure it in my PC. Can you please provide the DLL so I can use it in AX 2012.

Regards,

Hi Ahmed,

I never used ZXING myself in combination with Dynamics AX. It was worth a try.

Dear Experts,

I have done the following procedure.

1- VISUAL STUDIO 2010

---------------------------

Create a class library to convert the string into QR Code with the help of ZXING.

public Bitmap EncodeQR(string _qrValue)

{

ZXing.QrCode.QrCodeEncodingOptions _options = new ZXing.QrCode.QrCodeEncodingOptions();

_options = new ZXing.QrCode.QrCodeEncodingOptions()

{

DisableECI = true,

CharacterSet = "UTF-8",

Width = 250,

Height = 250,

};

var qrCode = new ZXing.BarcodeWriter();

qrCode.Format = ZXing.BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE;

qrCode.Options = _options;

var _result = new Bitmap(qrCode.Write(_qrValue.ToString()));

return _result;

}

2- MS Dynamics AX 2012 R2 CU7

-------------------------------------

- Export the VS project to AOT

- Copy the dll file to the client

- Add the dll to the AOT reference

Create a job to call the dll with string.

public static container Generate_QRZXING(str 1000 _QRDataString)

{

QRCoder.Encoder _qrEncoder = new QRCoder.Encoder();

System.Drawing.Bitmap _result;

str 1000 _TempFileName;

real _value;

BinData _binData;

Microsoft.Dynamics.QRCode.Encoder qrCode = new Microsoft.Dynamics.QRCode.Encoder();

FileIOPermission perm;

;

_result = _qrEncoder.EncodeQR(_QRDataString); /////////////////////// ERROR HERE /////////////////////////////////

_TempFileName = qrCode.GetTempFile(_QRDataString);

perm = new FileIOPermission(_TempFileName,'r');

perm.assert();

_binData = new BinData();

_binData.loadFile(_QRDataString);

return _binData.getData();

}

I am unable to understand when the code reach to "ERROR HERE". System didn't show any error message or nothing just close the process.

While I have created another VS2010 form based project to test the dll and it's working perfectly fine.

Hi Alam

I have used QRCoder reference from the standard available references.

below is a brief explanation:

1. using QRCoder; //add this on top of the class

2. use some code as below:

System.Drawing.Bitmap result;

System.String totalString;

totalString="النص باللغة العربية ";

QRCodeGenerator.ECCLevel eccLevel;

QRCodeGenerator qrGenerator = new QRCodeGenerator();

QRCodeData qrCodeData = qrGenerator.CreateQrCode(totalString, eccLevel);

QRCode qrCode = new QRCode(qrCodeData);

result = qrCode.GetGraphic(20);

3. save result and it will have a QR code image with arabic text

please approach me on linkedin if you have further queries.
