Classic ASP Requires Chilkat v11.7.0+

QR Code with Binary Data

See more QR Code Examples

Demonstrates a QR code that holds arbitrary bytes rather than text. The payload type is binary and the bytes are given as base64 in payload.base64. Any byte value may be used, including zero. Keep in mind that many phone camera apps expect text, so binary payloads are for readers that you control. Classic ASP
