Bookland barcode. This symbology is mostly the same as EAN-13 symbology, but used exclusively with books. First three digits of Bookland symbology are always "978" the rest of code is a ISBN number without embedded hyphens and ISBN check digit.

Important: you can also use BarCode Windows Forms or Web ImageControl instead. To use the Windows Formscontrol in Visual Studio please open Toolbox and open "Bytescout Software" tab and drag-n-drop "BarCode" control into your WinForms or ASP.NET application (in design mode)

Visual Basic:

Imports Bytescout.BarCode

Module Module1

Sub Main()

' Create new barcode

Dim barcode As New Barcode()

' Set symbology

barcode.Symbology = SymbologyType.Bookland

' Set value

barcode.Value = "123456789"

' Save barcode to image

barcode.SaveImage("result.png")

' Show image in default image viewer

Process.Start("result.png")

End Sub

End Module
