Code 39 (also known as "USS Code 39", "Code 3/9", "Code 3 of 9", "USD-3", "Alpha39", "Type 39") is a barcode symbology that can encode uppercase letters (A through Z), digits (0 through 9) and a handful of special characters like the $ sign.

Code 39 is restricted to 44 characters. In Full ASCII Code 39 Symbols 0-9, A-Z, "." ,and "-" are the same as their representations in Code 39. Lower case letters, additional punctuation characters and control characters are represented by sequences of two characters of Code 39.

 

.NET Code 39 Generator supports:

• 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
  
  
• Uppercase letters (A - Z)
  
  
• - (Dash), $ (Dollar), % (Percentage), (Space), . (Point), / (Slash), + (Plus)

.NET Barcode Code 39 Extension supports:

• all 128 ASCII characters

 

In C# Class

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

In VB.NET Class

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

 

In C# Class

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

In VB.NET Class

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

 

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)
