Generating barcode PLANET in C# Class example (C# PLANET Generator Complete Demo Source Code)

	        Linear planet = new Linear();
	        planet.Type = BarcodeType.PLANET;
	        planet.Data = "0123456789";
	        planet.X = 1;
	        planet.Y = 60;
	        
	        // Generate Planet and encode barcode to gif format
	        planet.Format = ImageFormat.Gif;
	        planet.drawBarcode("c#-planet.gif");
	        
	        // Print Planet to C# Bitmap object
	        Bitmap planetBitmap = planet.drawBarcode();

Generating barcode PLANET in VB.NET Class example (VB.NET PLANET Generator Complete Demo Source Code)

	        Dim planet As OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear
	        planet = New OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear()
	        planet.Type = OnBarcode.Barcode.BarcodeType.PLANET
	        planet.Data = "0123456789"
	        planet.X = 1
	        planet.Y = 60
	        
	        // Generate Planet and encode barcode to png format
	        planet.Format = ImageFormat.Png
	        planet.drawBarcode("vbnet-planet.png")
	        
	        // Print Planet to vb.net Bitmap object
	        Dim planetBitmap As Bitmap
	        planetBitmap = planet.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 Planet 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" />
  
  

Creating barcode Planet in C# Class example

        Linear planet = new Linear();
