ASP.NET MVC QRCode Overview

The Telerik UI QRCode HtmlHelper for ASP.NET MVC is a server-side wrapper for the Kendo UI QRCode widget.

QR codes take a piece of information from a transitory media, place it into the cell phone, and enable the cell phone to quickly read these generated images. All graphics are rendered on the client by using Canvas or SVG.

The QRCode generates Canvas and Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) images that represent Quick Response (QR) codes.

Initializing the QRCode

The following example demonstrates how to define the QRCode.

    @(Html.Kendo().QRCode()
      .Name("qrUrl")
    )

Basic Configuration

To configure the QRCode, pass the configuration options as attributes, for example:

  • The name of the QRCode is mandatory—it specifies the id and the name attributes of the QRCode element.
  • The Value() option allows you to set the initial QRCode value.
  • The error correction level allows you to control the density of the QRCode image. You can specify it by using the ErrorCorrection() method.
    @(Html.Kendo().QRCode()
        .Name("qrUrl")
        .Value("https://docs.telerik.com/aspnet-core/introduction")
        .ErrorCorrection(QRErrorCorrectionLevel.M)
        .Size(150)
        .Border(border => border.Color("#AA11AA").Width(2))
    )
