.NET Postnet Generator encodes:
- 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
.NET POSTNET Generator Online Demo
How to generate & print POSTNET in Visual Studio C# or VB.NET class?
Generating barcode POSTNET in C# Class example
(C# POSTNET Generator Complete Demo Source Code)
Linear postnet = new Linear();
postnet.Type = BarcodeType.POSTNET;
postnet.Data = "0123456789";
postnet.X = 1;
postnet.Y = 60;
// Generate Postnet and encode barcode to gif format
postnet.Format = ImageFormat.Gif;
postnet.drawBarcode("c#-postnet.gif");
// Print Postnet to C# Bitmap object
Bitmap postnetBitmap = postnet.drawBarcode();
Generating barcode POSTNET in VB.NET Class example
(VB.NET POSTNET Generator Complete Demo Source Code)
Dim postnet As OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear
postnet = New OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear()
postnet.Type = OnBarcode.Barcode.BarcodeType.POSTNET
postnet.Data = "0123456789"
postnet.X = 1
postnet.Y = 60
// Generate Postnet and encode barcode to png format
postnet.Format = ImageFormat.Png
postnet.drawBarcode("vbnet-postnet.png")
// Print Postnet to vb.net Bitmap object
Dim postnetBitmap As Bitmap
postnetBitmap = postnet.drawBarcode();
How to create & draw Postnet 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=0123456789&TYPE=4
- To create barcode Postnet 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" />
How to create & encode barcode Postnet to image file (GIF, JPEG, PNG, BMP)?
Creating barcode Postnet in C# Class example
Linear postnet = new Linear();
postnet.Type = BarcodeType.POSTNET;
postnet.Data = "0123456789";
postnet.drawBarcode("C://postnet.gif");
Creating barcode Postnet in VB.NET Class example
Dim postnet As OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear
postnet = New OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear()
postnet.Type = OnBarcode.Barcode.BarcodeType.POSTNET
postnet.Data = "0123456789"
postnet.drawBarcode("C://postnet-in-vbnet.gif")
In Visual Studio C# & VB.NET, how to draw & print barcode Postnet to .NET Graphics, Stream & Bitmap objects?
To draw & print barcode Postnet 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 Postnet 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)
