Basic Steps to Create a 1D Barcode
- Set the value you want to create.
Property |
Description |
BarcodeType |
This property gets or sets the type of barcode to create from the BarcodeType enumeration. |
BarcodeValue |
This property gets or sets the value of the barcode to be created. |
BarcodeValueAsByte |
This property gets or sets the current barcode value as an array of bytes used only if non-ASCII text values are needed. |
- Call either the CreatePage method, Create method (to create an hDib) or the CreateBitmap method (to create a System.Drawing.Bitmap) from the Barcode Writer member. These methods will return an image with the desired barcode.
Method |
Description |
CreatePage |
This method is the main method for creating ImGearPage 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.
Examples

Copy Code |
//create the Barcode component
ImageGear.Barcode.ImGearBarcode IGBarcodeWrite = new ImageGear.Barcode.ImGearBarcode();
//set the required writer properties
IGBarcodeWrite.Writer.BarcodeType = ImGearBarcodeType.Code39Barcode;
IGBarcodeWrite.Writer.BarcodeValue = "CODE39";
//call Create and get resulting image
myImGearPage = IGBarcodeWrite.Writer.CreatePage(); |
