.NET Barcode Code 39 Generator Introduction
Top
Generating Barcode Code 39 in .NET is one of the functions in OnBarcode's .NET Barcode Generators, which supports creating & printing Code-39 and 30+ other linear & 2D bar codes for C#, VB.NET & ASP.NET applications.
OnBarcode develops several .NET Barcode Generation components for different .NET development environments:

.NET Code 39 Generator - Barcode Code-39 Introduction

Code 39 (also known as "USS Code 39", "Code 3/9", "Code 3 of 9", "USD-3", "Alpha39", "Type 39") is a barcode symbology that can encode uppercase letters (A through Z), digits (0 through 9) and a handful of special characters like the $ sign.
Code 39 is restricted to 44 characters. In Full ASCII Code 39 Symbols 0-9, A-Z, "." ,and "-" are the same as their representations in Code 39. Lower case letters, additional punctuation characters and control characters are represented by sequences of two characters of Code 39.

.NET Code 39 Generation - Code-39 Valid Data Scope

.NET Code 39 Generator encodes:
  • 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
  • Uppercase letters (A - Z)
  • - (Dash), $ (Dollar), % (Percentage), (Space), . (Point), / (Slash), + (Plus)
.NET Barcode Code 39 Extension encodes:
  • all 128 ASCII characters

Generating barcode Code-39 in C# Class example (C# Code 39 Generator Complete Demo Source Code):
   Linear code39 = new Linear();
code39.Type = BarcodeType.CODE39;

// Set Code 39 barcode value.
// Code39 supports encoding upper case characters, digits & some special characters.
// To encode lower case chars, please use Code 39 extension.
code39.Data = "CODE39";

// Set code 39 bar width (X module) and bar height (Y module)
code39.X = 1;
code39.Y = 60;

// Generate Code-39 and encode barcode to gif format
code39.Format = System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif;
code39.drawBarcode("C://csharp-code39.gif");

// Print Code-39 to C# Bitmap object
Bitmap code39Bitmap = code39.drawBarcode();
Generating barcode Code-39 in VB.NET Class example (VB.NET Code 39 Generator Complete Demo Source Code):
   Dim code39 As OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear
code39 = New OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear()
code39.Type = OnBarcode.Barcode.BarcodeType.CODE39

' Set Code 39 barcode value.
' Code39 supports encoding upper case characters, digits & some special characters.
' To encode lower case chars, please use Code 39 extension.
code39.Data = "CODE39"

' Set code 39 bar width (X module) and bar height (Y module)

How to Create & Draw Code 39 Image in ASP.NET Aspx or Html Pages Without ASP.NET Barcode Controller?
Top
  • Under demo package, copy barcode folder and its contents to your IIS, and create a new virtual directory.
  • Restart IIS, navigate to http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/linear.aspx?DATA=CODE39&TYPE=4.
    Code 39 barcode type value is 4. To encode Code 39 extension, set type value to 5, like TYPE=5
  • To create barcode code-39 image in html or aspx pages, you can insert a image tag (img) into your page.
    For example, <img src="http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/linear.aspx?DATA=CODE39&TYPE=4" />
