Hi Johan

it seems that the DotCode barcode symbology is not included in the Microsoft PointOfService API.

The Microsoft PointOfService API is primarily focused on supporting common barcode symbologies such as Code 128, UPC-A, EAN-13, and others. However, it does not provide native support for DotCode.

If you specifically need to work with DotCode barcode symbology in your application, you may need to explore alternative barcode libraries or SDKs that offer support for DotCode. There are various third-party libraries available that provide comprehensive barcode support, including DotCode.

Some popular barcode library options you can consider for DotCode support are:

1. ZXing (Zebra Crossing): A widely-used open-source barcode library that supports a wide range of barcode symbologies, including DotCode. It is available for multiple programming languages.
2. Dynamsoft Barcode Reader: A commercial barcode library with support for various symbologies, including DotCode. It offers SDKs for different programming languages.

By integrating one of these libraries or similar alternatives into your application, you should be able to work with DotCode barcode symbology and retrieve the corresponding ID or perform the required operations.

Please note that the availability and specific implementation details may vary depending on the library or SDK you choose. It's recommended to refer to the respective documentation and resources provided by the chosen library for further guidance on using DotCode symbology.
