GetBytes Method

Summary

Generates and returns formatted AAMVA barcode data for this AAMVAID.

Syntax
C#
C++/CLI
Python
public byte[] GetBytes() 
public:  
   array<Byte>^ GetBytes() 
def GetBytes(self): 

Return Value

Formatted AAMVA barcode data that can be written to a PDF417 barcode.

Remarks

Data is formatted according to AAMVA CDS 2016.

Example
C#
Java
using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Barcode; 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
 
 
/* This example defines an instance of AAMVAID, sets and reads the data, and finally saves a PDF17 barcode.  
 * The code is outlined in sections as follows:  
 *  
 * 1. Set the members to simulate reading AAMVAID and extract it at a later point  
 * 2. Build the AAMVAID instance 
 * 3. Define a hash set and parse to a specific element 
 * 4. Process AAMAValidCharacters 
 * 5. Extract AAMVAID properties 
 * 6. Extract data and write as PDF417 barcode
