Generate QR Code in Microsoft AX 2012

A quick way of generating a QR code from Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012.

In this tutorial, I am making use of AX 2012 R3.

A palpable example is printing a QR code for an Item.

Here is a simple job that would generate the phrase “Bonjour Monsieur Winner” as a QR code.

static void createQRCode(Args _args)
{

Microsoft.Dynamics.QRCode.Encoder qrCode;
System.String netString;
str tempFileName;
System.Drawing.Bitmap netBitmap;
Bitmap imageQR;
FileIOPermission perm;
BinData binData;
container imageContainer;
Image image;
;

netString = “Bonjour Monsieur Winner”;
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

System.IO.File::Delete(tempFileName);

CodeAccessPermission::revertAssert();

// Saving the QR code as a PNG file
image = new Image();
image.setData(imageContainer);

image.saveImage(“D:\Monsieur.png”, ImageSaveType::PNG);
}

Merci 🙂
