- In "Fields" form, add all three columns in the table "Customer". Click "Finish".
- In CrystalReport1.rpt, add field "Barcode" to the report Section 3 (Details).
- In your .NET project solution explorer, add "OnBarcode.Barcode.WinForms.dll" to your project reference.
- Open your Form1.cs in Design view, double click the form, enter Form1.cs.
- Copy the following C# code into the method Form1_Load.
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
OleDbConnection aConnection = new OleDbConnection(
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:/Demo/BarcodeDemoData.mdb");
aConnection.Open();
OleDbDataAdapter dataAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter("select * from Customer", aConnection);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
dataAdapter.Fill(ds);
//add a new column named "Barcode" to the DataSet, the new column data type is byte[]
ds.Tables[0].Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Barcode", typeof(byte[])));
Linear barcode = new Linear();
barcode.Type = BarcodeType.CODE128;
foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
{
barcode.Data = (int)dr["CustomerId"] + "";
byte[] imageData = barcode.drawBarcodeAsBytes();
dr["Barcode"] = imageData;
}
CrystalReport1 rpt = new CrystalReport1();
rpt.SetDataSource(ds);
this.crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rpt;
aConnection.Close();
}
11. Run the report.
