.NET Code 39 Generator - Barcode Code-39 Introduction
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 Generation - Code-39 Valid Data Scope
.NET Code 39 Generator encodes:
- 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
- Uppercase letters (A - Z)
- - (Dash), $ (Dollar), % (Percentage), (Space), . (Point), / (Slash), + (Plus)

How to generate & print Code-39 in Visual Studio C# or VB.NET class?
Generating barcode Code-39 in C# Class example
(C# Code 39 Generator Complete Demo Source Code)
Linear code39 = new Linear();
code39.Type = BarcodeType.CODE39;
// Set Code 39 barcode value.
// Code39 supports encoding upper case characters, digits & some special characters.
// To encode lower case chars, please use Code 39 extension.
code39.Data = "CODE39";
// Set code 39 bar width (X module) and bar height (Y module)
code39.X = 1;
code39.Y = 60;
// Generate Code-39 and encode barcode to gif format
code39.Format = ImageFormat.Gif;
code39.drawBarcode("c#-code39.gif");
// Print Code-39 to C# Bitmap object
Bitmap code39Bitmap = code39.drawBarcode();
Generating barcode Code-39 in VB.NET Class example
(VB.NET Code 39 Generator Complete Demo Source Code)
Dim code39 As OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear
code39 = New OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear()
code39.Type = OnBarcode.Barcode.BarcodeType.CODE39
// Set Code 39 barcode value.
// Code39 supports encoding upper case characters, digits & some special characters.
// To encode lower case chars, please use Code 39 extension.
code39.Data = "CODE39"
// Set code 39 bar width (X module) and bar height (Y module)
code39.X = 1
code39.Y = 60
// Generate Code-39 and encode barcode to png format
code39.Format = ImageFormat.Png
code39.drawBarcode("vbnet-code39.png")
// Print Code-39 to vb.net Bitmap object
Dim code39Bitmap As Bitmap
code39Bitmap = code39.drawBarcode();
How to create & draw Code 39 image in ASP.NET aspx or html pages without ASP.NET Barcode Controller?
- 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=CODE39&TYPE=4
Code 39 barcode type value is 4. To encode Code 39 extension, set type value to 5, like TYPE=5
- To create barcode code-39 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=CODE39&TYPE=4" />
How to create & encode barcode Code 39 to image file (GIF, JPEG, PNG, BMP)?
Creating barcode Code-39 image in C# Class example
Linear code39 = new Linear();
code39.Type = BarcodeType.CODE39;
code39.Data = "0123456789";
code39.N = 2.0f;
// Create Code-39 and encode barcode to Jpeg format
code39.Format = ImageFormat.Jpeg;
code39.drawBarcode("C://csharp-code39.jpg");
Creating barcode Code-39 image in VB.NET Class example
Dim code39 As OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear
code39 = New OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear()

code39.N = 2.0f
// Create Code-39 and encode barcode to Jpeg format
code39.Format = ImageFormat.Jpeg
code39.drawBarcode("C://vbnet-code39.jpg")
In Visual Studio C# & VB.NET, how to draw & print barcode Code 39 to .NET Graphics, Stream & Bitmap objects?
To draw & print barcode Code-39 to C# objects:
public void drawBarcode(Graphics graphics);
public void drawBarcode(string filename);
public Bitmap drawBarcode();
public void drawBarcode(Stream fileStream);
To draw & print barcode Code-39 to VB.NET objects:
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)
