Code 128 barcode. It is a very effective, high-density symbology which permits the encoding of alphanumeric (subject to alphabet selection) data. Code 128 is a very dense code, used extensively worldwide.
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:
<p><em>Imports Bytescout.BarCode</em></p> <p><em>Module Module1</em></p> <p><em>Sub Main()<br> ' Create new barcode<br> Dim barcode As New Barcode()</em></p> <p><em>' Set <span data-scayt_word="symbology" data-scaytid="16">symbology</span><br> barcode.Symbology = SymbologyType.Code128<br> ' Set value<br> barcode.Value = "DATA"</em></p> <p><em>' Save barcode to image<br> barcode.SaveImage("result.png")</em></p> <p><em>' Show image in default image viewer<br> Process.Start("result.png")<br> End Sub</em></p> <p><em>End Module</em></p>
