I would like to request that Code39 Extended and Code93 Extended be added to the supported encodings. These allow both lower and upper case characters. Thanks.

AFAIK, that support is already in the current version of C1BarCode.

They're not supported in the .NET 1.1 component, or they have different names. Are they supported in the .NET 2.0 component?

I mean the Code39 encoding in C1BarCode handles upper and lower case, in
both versions.

You don't have to select an 'extended' encoding, it's just the regular ones.

Sorry, but I wouldn't have bothered you with this request if they worked with lower case. Again, I'm using the Framework 1.1 components. When I create a barcode which encodes lower-case text, it comes out as upper case.

Oops. I discovered a forgotten line of code in my app that was forcing the barcode text to uppercase. Code 39 and Code 93 do indeed handle lowercase text. Sorry to bother you about this.

Thanks for letting me know.

I hadn't forgotten about this, but I am on a trip and won't have access to
my trusty barcode reader until next week. I was planning to double-check
this issue as soon as I got home. Now I won't have to ;-)
