### Description

Gets or sets the text the barcode should encrypt.

### Syntax

```csharp
public string Text { get; set; }
```

```vbnet
Public Property Text As String
```

### Examples

The following example uses `TXBarcodeCore.Text` to replace the txbarcode core's displayed content. The configured value is checked before the workflow continues.

```csharp
tXBarcodeCore.Text = "Quarterly results";
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(tXBarcodeCore.Text))
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Text: {tXBarcodeCore.Text}");
}
```

```vbnet
tXBarcodeCore.Text = "Quarterly results"
If Not String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(tXBarcodeCore.Text) Then
    Console.WriteLine($"Text: {tXBarcodeCore.Text}")
End If
```

### Remarks

Throws an `ArgumentException`, if the value is not valid for the conditions of the current [barcode type](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-barcode/txbarcodecore/barcodetype-property/llms-full.txt).
