<h5 id="C1_C1Preview_RenderBarCode_Text_remarks">Remarks</h5>
<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>Some encodings support alphanumeric values of any length. Others
are limited to numeric values or to a specific set of characters. 
See the <a class="xref" href="C1.C1Preview.RenderBarCode.BarCodeType.html#C1_C1Preview_RenderBarCode_BarCodeType">BarCodeType</a> enumeration 
for details.</p>
<p>If you use characters that are invalid for the current encoding, the
object will display a blank image.</p>
</div>
<h5 id="C1_C1Preview_RenderBarCode_Text_examples">Examples</h5>
<p>The following sample shows how to use the Text property to encode
the value &quot;123456&quot; as a Code39-encoded barcode:
<pre><code class="lang-csharp">RenderBarCode rbc = new RenderBarCode();
rbc.BarCodeType = BarCodeType.Code39;
rbc.Text = &quot;123456&quot;;
doc.Body.Children.Add(rbc);</code></pre>
