Generating barcode Intelligent Mail Barcode (Onecode) in C# Class example

	        Linear onecode = new Linear();
	        onecode.Type = BarcodeType.ONECODE;
	        onecode.Data = "0123456789";
	        onecode.X = 1;
	        onecode.Y = 60;
	        
	        // Generate Intelligent Mail Barcode (Onecode) and encode barcode to gif format
	        onecode.Format = ImageFormat.Gif;
	        onecode.drawBarcode("c#-onecode.gif");
	        
	        // Print Intelligent Mail Barcode (Onecode) to C# Bitmap object
	        Bitmap onecodeBitmap = onecode.drawBarcode();

Generating barcode Intelligent Mail Barcode (Onecode) in VB.NET Class example

	        Dim onecode As OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear
	        onecode = New OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear()
	        onecode.Type = OnBarcode.Barcode.BarcodeType.ONECODE
	        onecode.Data = "0123456789"
	        onecode.X = 1
	        onecode.Y = 60
	        
	        // Generate Intelligent Mail Barcode (Onecode) and encode barcode to png format
	        onecode.Format = ImageFormat.Png
	        onecode.drawBarcode("vbnet-onecode.png")
	        
	        // Print Intelligent Mail Barcode (Onecode) to vb.net Bitmap object
	        Dim onecodeBitmap As Bitmap
	        onecodeBitmap = onecode.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=0123456789&TYPE=4
  
  
• To create barcode Intelligent Mail (Onecode) 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" />
