.NET EAN-13 Generator - Barcode EAN-13 Introduction

EAN-13 barcode (originally European Article Number) is a barcoding standard which is a superset of the original 12-digit Universal Product Code (UPC) system developed in the United States. The EAN-13 barcode is defined by the standards organisation GS1. The numbers encoded in EAN-13 bar codes are product identification numbers which are called Japanese Article Number (JAN) in Japan. All the numbers encoded in UPC and EAN barcodes are known as Global Trade Item Numbers (GTIN), and they can be encoded in other GS1 barcodes.

.NET EAN-13 Generation - EAN-13 Valid Data Scope

.NET EAN 13 Generator encodes:

• 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

.NET EAN-13 Generator Online Demo

Generating barcode EAN-13 in C# Class example (C# EAN-13 Generator Complete Demo Source Code)

	        Linear ean13 = new Linear();
	        ean13.Type = BarcodeType.EAN13;
	        ean13.Data = "012345678912";
	        ean13.X = 1;
	        ean13.Y = 60;
	        
	        // Generate EAN-13 and encode barcode to gif format
	        ean13.Format = ImageFormat.Gif;
	        ean13.drawBarcode("c#-ean13.gif");
	        
	        // Print EAN-13 to C# Bitmap object
	        Bitmap ean13Bitmap = ean13.drawBarcode();

Generating barcode EAN-8 in VB.NET Class example (VB.NET EAN-13 Generator Complete Demo Source Code)

	        Dim ean13 As OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear
	        ean13 = New OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear()
	        ean13.Type = OnBarcode.Barcode.BarcodeType.EAN13
	        ean13.Data = "012345678912"
	        ean13.X = 1
	        ean13.Y = 60
	        
	        // Generate EAN-13 and encode barcode to png format
	        ean13.Format = ImageFormat.Png
	        ean13.drawBarcode("vbnet-ean13.png")
	        
	        // Print EAN-13 to vb.net Bitmap object
	        Dim ean13Bitmap As Bitmap
	        ean13Bitmap = ean13.drawBarcode();

• 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=012345678912&TYPE=15
  
  
• To create barcode EAN-13 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=012345678912&TYPE=15" />
  
  

Creating barcode EAN-13 images in C# Class example

	        Linear ean13 = new Linear();
	        ean13.Type = BarcodeType.EAN13;
	        ean13.Data = "012345678912";
	        ean13.X = 1;
	        ean13.Y = 60;
	        
	        // Create EAN-13 and encode barcode to Jpeg format
	        ean13.Format = ImageFormat.Jpeg;
	        ean13.drawBarcode("C://csharp-ean13.jpg");

Creating barcode EAN-13 images in VB.NET Class example

	        Dim ean13 As OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear
	        ean13 = New OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear()
	        ean13.Type = OnBarcode.Barcode.BarcodeType.EAN13
	        ean13.Data = "012345678912"
	        ean13.X = 1
	        ean13.Y = 60
	        
	        // Create EAN-13 and encode barcode to Jpeg format
	        ean13.Format = ImageFormat.Jpeg
	        ean13.drawBarcode("C://vbnet-ean13.jpg")

To draw & print barcode EAN-13 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 EAN-13 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)
