Output barcode screenshot (Postnet symbology)

Postnet barcode sample output  generated with Bytescout BarCode SDK for .NET

Postnet barcode. This symbology usually gets printed by U.S. Post Office on envelopes. Postnet symbology allows only numeric values to be encoded. The bar code itself can encode either a standard 5-digit Zip Code, a Zip+4 code, or a full 11-point delivery point code.

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.Postnet
‘ Set value
barcode.Value = “12345123412”

‘ Save barcode to image
barcode.SaveImage(“result.png”)

‘ Show image in default image viewer
Process.Start(“result.png”)
End Sub

End Module

C#:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Diagnostics;

using Bytescout.BarCode;

namespace Sample
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create new barcode
Barcode barcode = new Barcode();

// Set symbology
barcode.Symbology = SymbologyType.Postnet;
// Set value
barcode.Value = “Sample”;

// Save barcode to image
barcode.SaveImage(“result.png”);

// Show image in default image viewer
Process.Start(“result.png”);
}
}
}
