How to Create & Print Barcode in C#.NET Windows Forms Application

Top

1. Add .NET Barcode Generator DLL for WinForms to Toolbox.
   
   Setup a new .NET Windows Forms project, right-click Toolbox, select Choose Items..., and click Browse... to find OnBarcode.Barcode.WinForms.dll. Then, you may find four controls added to toolbox, namely LinearWinForm, DataMatrixWinForm, PDF417WinForm, and QRCodeWinForm.
2. Drag DataMatrixWinForm and drop it to your windows form and a Data Matrix barcode will be printed on the form instantly.
   
   If you want to print other barcode types, please drag and drop respective control to your windows form. Among them, LinearWinForm will generate & print all 20+ linear barcodes including Codabar, Code 39, Code 128, EAN-8, EAN-13, EAN-128, Interleaved 2 of 5, ISBN, ISSN, UPC-A, UPC-E and so on.
3. You can also add a textbox on the form for inputting barcode encoding message

        //  Sample code for creating a Barcode BitmapImage.
        private BitmapImage createLinear()
        {
            //  Create a sample Linear barcode
            OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear linear = new OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear();
            linear.Type = OnBarcode.Barcode.BarcodeType.CODE128;
            linear.Data = "Code 128";
            linear.UOM = OnBarcode.Barcode.UnitOfMeasure.PIXEL;
            linear.Resolution = 96;
            linear.X = 2;
            linear.Y = 100;
            //  Render the barcode to a Bitmap object.
            System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmap = linear.drawBarcode();

            //  Convert Bitmap object to BitmapImage object.
            System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
            bitmap.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
            BitmapImage bi = new BitmapImage();
            bi.BeginInit();
            bi.StreamSource = ms;
            bi.EndInit();
            return bi;
        }

How to Encode & Draw Barcode Label Using C# Source Code

Top

1. Add .NET WinForms Barcode Library DLL to your Windows C# project reference.
2. Use OnBarcode.Barcode as the namespace and copy the following C# demo code your C#.NET class panel. Let's take Data Matrix as an example.

   // Create a .NET WinForms Data Matrix object
   DataMatrix datamatrix = new DataMatrix();

   // Set Data Matrix encoded data
   datamatrix.Data = ".NET WinForms C# Data Matrix";

   // Set Data Matrix data mode
   datamatrix.DataMode = DataMatrixDataMode.Auto;

   // Set Data Matrix barcode image size
   datamatrix.X = 3;
   datamatrix.LeftMargin = 6;
   datamatrix.RightMargin = 6;
   datamatrix.TopMargin = 6;
   datamatrix.BottomMargin = 6;

   // Print Data Matrix to gif image file and save it to C:\
   datamatrix.ImageFormat = System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif;
   datamatrix.drawBarcode("C://winfroms-csharp-datamatrix.gif");

How to encode, generate non-printable chars (such as 'CR') in barcode images using c# .net winforms

Top

1. Set property ProcessTilde to true.
2. Convert non-printable char to '~ddd' format. Here ddd is the char ASCII Integer code. 'CR' should be converted to '~013'.
3. Set property Data to '~013'

How to encode, print GS1 data in barcodes using c# .net winforms

Top

1. EAN/UPC: UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, and EAN-8 barcodes, and the two- and five-digit add-on symbols
2. ITF-14
3. GS1-128 (EAN-128)
4. GS1 DataBar
5. Composite Component symbols do not exist in isolation. The primary identification number is always encoded in the linear symbol and supplementary GS1 Application Identifier element strings are encoded in the two-dimensional (2D) component where they take up less space
6. Data Matrix
7. GS1 QR Code
