<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>Most encodings have limitations that determine what type of text it can represent. For example,
some are numeric-only and some require text of a specific length.</p>
<p>If the value of the <a class="xref" href="C1.WPF.BarCode.C1BarCode.Text.html#C1_WPF_BarCode_C1BarCode_Text">Text</a> property cannot be represented using the current
<a class="xref" href="C1.WPF.BarCode.C1BarCode.CodeType.html#C1_WPF_BarCode_C1BarCode_CodeType">CodeType</a>, then the error message will be shown in the control.</p>
<p>In this case, the <b>EncodingException</b> property returns details about the exception
that prevented the bar code from being generated.</p>
