"The input is not a valid Base-64 string

[mike.colonna]

Hello new to this lib and barcodes and I'm trying to read a bitmap barcode,

and I keep getting this error:
{"The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character, more than two padding characters, or an illegal character among the padding characters. "}

now I tried to add the barcode type etc. but keep getting the same error.
below are some of the code I tried and not limited too

I must be doing something wrong.


code:

Code: Select all

 Spire.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseKey("Mylic.xml");
  Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap)Image.FromFile(@"C:\tmp\ExtractPage3.tif");
  string[] data = Spire.Barcode.BarcodeScanner.Scan(bitmap);

I also tried :

Code: Select all

 Spire.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseKey("Mylic.xml");
  string[] data = Spire.Barcode.BarcodeScanner.Scan(@"C:\tmp\ExtractPage3.tif");

and

Code: Select all

  Spire.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseKey("Mylic.xml");
  string[] data = Spire.Barcode.BarcodeScanner.Scan(@"C:\tmp\ExtractPage3.tif",BarCodeType.Code39);

Thank you

Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry.
The reason why you reported the error 'Base-64 String' is because your license application method is incorrect, you can apply the license using the following method：

Code: Select all

Spire.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseKey("your licenseKey");
//or
Spire.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseFileName("license.elic.xml");
Spire.License.LicenseProvider.LoadLicense();

If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us anytime.

Sincerely,
Wenly
