Encode ISBN Valid Character in C#.NET

ISBN valid character set:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Generate ISBN Barcodes in C#.NET

ISBN is a numeric-only linear barcodes. It only begins with "978" or "979".

Linear barcode = new Linear();

barcode.Type = BarcodeType.ISBN;

barcode.Data = "978123456789";

barcode.BarcodeWidth = 200;

barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png;

barcode.drawBarcode("c:/isbn.png");

Create ISBN+2 Barcodes in C#.NET

ISBN+2 barcode is also known as ISBN supplement 2-digit barcode. It is a numeric-only linear barcode.

Linear barcode = new Li0near();

barcode.Type = BarcodeType.ISBN_2;

barcode.Data = "978123456789";

barcode.SupData = "12";

barcode.BarcodeWidth = 200;

barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png;

barcode.drawBarcode("c:/isbn_2.png);

Make ISBN+5 Barcodes in C#.NET

ISBN+5 is also called ISBN supplement 5-digit barcode. Like ISBN+2 barcode, ISBN+5 barcode is only to encode numeric data.

Linear barcode = new Linear();

barcode.Type = BarcodeType.ISBN_2;

barcode.Data = "978123456789";

barcode.SupData = "12";

barcode.BarcodeWidth = 200;

barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png;

barcode.drawBarcode("c:/isbn_5.png);

Modify ISBN Valid Length in C#.NET

ISBN is a fixed-length linear barcode symblogy, with 12 digits to be encoded and plus 1 check digit.

Set ISBN Barcodes in 13-digit length

ISBN barcode is only to begin with "978" or "979". Arabic numeral can be encoded into 12 digits with a check digit in the end of data sequence.

Linear barcode = new Linear();

barcode.Type = BarcodeType.ISBN_5;

barcode.Data = "979123456789";

barcode.BarcodeWidth = 200;

barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png;

barcode.drawBarcode("c:/isbn.png");

Make ISBN+2 Barcodes in 15-digit length

C# ISBN barcodes supports 2-digit supplemental data to add on, which indicates magazines and newspaper issue numbers. So the total length in ISBN+2 barcodes reaches at 15 digits, 12 of which are ISBN data; 2of which are supplemental data and 1of which is check digit.

Linear barcode = new Linear();

barcode.Type = BarcodeType.ISBN_2;

barcode.Data = "979123456789";

barcode.SupData = "12";

barcode.BarcodeWidth = 200;

barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png;

barcode.drawBarcode("c:/isbn_2.png");

Print ISBN+5 Barcodes in 18-digit length

C# ISBN barcodes supports 5-digit supplemental data to add on, which marks suggested retail price of books. So the total length in ISBN+5 barcodes reaches at 18 digits, 12 of which are ISBN data; 5 of which are supplemental data and 1of which is check digit.

Linear barcode = new Linear();

barcode.Type = BarcodeType.ISBN_5;

barcode.Data = "979123456789";

barcode.SupData = "12345";

barcode.BarcodeWidth = 200;

barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png;

barcode.drawBarcode("c:/isbn_5.png");
