Basic Steps to Create a 1D Barcode
1. Set the value you want to create.
| Property |
Description |
| BarcodeType |
Gets and sets the type of barcode to create from the BarcodeType enumeration. |
| BarcodeValue |
Gets and sets the value of the barcode to be created. |
| BarcodeData |
Gets and sets the current barcode value as an array of bytes used only if non-ASCII text values are needed. |
2. Call either the Create method (to create an hDib) or the CreateBitmap method (to create a System.Drawing.Bitmap) from the BarcodeXpress.writer member. These methods will return an image with the desired barcode.
| Method |
Description |
| Create |
The main method for creating barcodes. |
| CreateBitmap |
Creates bitmap barcodes. |
 |
There are many additional properties within the Writer class which may be used as needed in creating barcodes. See the class overview for more information. |
| C# - Basic steps for barcode writing 1D barcodes using Accusoft.BarcodeXpress.Net |
 Copy Code |
//create and unlock the BarcodeXpress component
BarcodeXpress bcx = new BarcodeXpress();
// The SetSolutionName and SetSolutionKey methods must be called to distribute the runtime.
bcx.Licensing.SetSolutionName("YourSolutionName");
bcx.Licensing.SetSolutionKey(12345,12345,12345,12345);
// The SetOEMLicenseKey method is required if Manually Reported Runtime Licensing is used.
bcx.Licensing.SetOEMLicenseKey("1.0.AStringForOEMLicensing");
//set the required writer properties
bcx.writer.BarcodeType = BarcodeType.Code39Barcode;
bcx.writer.BarcodeValue = "CODE39";
//call Create and get resulting image
imageXView1.Image = Accusoft.ImagXpressSdk.ImageX.FromHdib(imagXpress1, bcx.writer.Create());
// dispose of the barcode component
bcx.Dispose(); |
