Generating Barcode Code 2 of 5 in .NET is one of the functions in OnBarcode's .NET Barcode Generators, which supports creating & printing Code 2 of 5 and 30+ other linear & 2D bar codes for C#, VB.NET & ASP.NET applications.

OnBarcode develops several .NET Barcode Generation components for different .NET development environments:

Barcode Generation in ASP.NET - Creating barcodes in ASP.NET Web applications
Barcode Generation in Windows Forms - Printing barcodes in C#, VB.NET Windows Forms applications
Barcode Generation in Reporting Service - Drawing barcodes in Microsoft Reporting Service 2005 & 2008

 

.NET Code 2 of 5 Generator - Barcode Code 2 of 5 Introduction

In telecommunication, a two-out-of-five code is an m of n code that provides exactly ten possible combinations, and thus is popular for representing decimal digits using five bits.

 

.NET Code 2 of 5 Generation - Code 2 of 5 Valid Data Scope

.NET Code 2 of 5 Generator encodes:

• 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

 

Generating barcode Code 2 of 5 in C# Class example (C# Source Code to Create Code 2 of 5 barcodes)

        Linear barcode = new Linear();
        barcode.Type = BarcodeType.CODE39;
        barcode.Data = "0123456789";
        barcode.drawBarcode("C://code39.gif");

Generating barcode Code 2 of 5 in VB.NET Class example

        Dim barcode As OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear
        barcode = New OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear()
        barcode.Type = OnBarcode.Barcode.BarcodeType.CODE39
        barcode.Data = "0123456789"
        barcode.drawBarcode("C://code39-in-vbnet.gif")

 

• Under demo package, copy barcode folder and its contents to your IIS, and create a new virtual directory.
  
  
• Restart IIS, navigate to http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/linear.aspx?DATA=0123456789&TYPE=4
  
  
• To create barcode image in html or aspx pages, you can insert a image tag (img) into your page.
  For example, <img src="http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/linear.aspx?DATA=0123456789&TYPE=4" />

Using C#, please call one of the following methods to draw barcode in the memory

        public void drawBarcode(Graphics graphics);

        public void drawBarcode(string filename);

        public Bitmap drawBarcode();

        public void drawBarcode(Stream fileStream);

Using VB.NET, please call one of the following methods to draw barcode in the memory

        Public Sub drawBarcode(ByRef graphics As Graphics)

        Public Sub drawBarcode(ByVal filename As String)

        Public Function drawBarcode() As Bitmap

        Public Sub drawBarcode(ByRef fileStream As Stream)
