C#. EAN-8 Generator Data Encoding Tutorial

sample source code to input valid data and generate linear EAN-8 images in C# .NET

• C# EAN-8 Overview
• C# EAN-8 Data Encoding

EAN-8 Valid Character Set

Encoding only 7 numeric digits for EAN-8 generation

Encoding 7 and 2 supplement data digits for C# EAN-8

Encoding 7 and 5 supplement data numeric digits for C# .NETEAN-8

EAN-8, also known as European Article Number 8, UPC-8, GTIN-8, GS1-8, EAN/UCC-8, is the short barcode version of EAN-13 barcode.

C# EAN-8 is barcode generation dill for .NET programming. It can easily generate EAN-8 images in various .NET platforms, such as ASP.NET barcode generator web control, .NET Winforms barcode generator control and Reporting service barcode generation component.

OnBarcode C# Barcode Generator is designed to generate, create EAN-8 and other linear & 2d barcodes in Microsoft Word. Here are some more tutorials for C# EAN-8 generation concerning size & image setting.

C# EAN-8 data encoding can be divided into two parts, which are C# EAN-8 character set and C# EAN-8 data length.

EAN-8 is a variable linear barcode, which can encode following data:

Numeric Digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

With C# EAN-8 valid data, C# EAN-8 generation component can encode 3 types of data to generate high quality EAN-8 images without distortion in various programming written in C#.

Encoding Only 7 Numeric digits

C# EAN-8 generator can only encode 7 numeric digits to generate EAN-8 barcode image in C# .NET development:

Linear ean8 = new Linear();

ean8.Type = BarcodeType.EAN8;

ean8.Data = "7777777";

Encoding 7 Letters and 2 Supplement Data

C# EAN-8 generator supports encoding 7 letters and 2 supplement data for creating EAN-8 images with C# .NET Winforms EAN-8 generator:

Linear ean8 = new Linear();

ean8.Type = BarcodeType.EAN8;

ean8.Data = "78945641";

ean8.SupData = "45";

Encode7 Letters and 5 Supplement Data

C# EAN-8 generation SDK is compatible with 7 letters and 5 supplement data and special letters together to draw your needed EAN-8 images:

Linear ean8 = new Linear();

ean8.Type = BarcodeType.EAN8;

ean8.Data = "4561234";

ean8.SupData = "45454";
