.NET Postnet Generator - Barcode Postnet Introduction

POSTNET (Postal Numeric Encoding Technique), also known as USPS POSTNET Barcode, USPS POSTal Numeric Encoding Technique Barcode, is a barcode symbology that is used by the United States Postal Service to assist in directing mail. The ZIP Code or ZIP+4 code is encoded in half- and full-height bars.

.NET Postnet Generation - Postnet Valid Data Scope

.NET Postnet Generator encodes:
  • 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
How to Generate & Print POSTNET in Visual Studio C# or VB.NET Class?

Generating barcode POSTNET in C# Class example (C# POSTNET Generator Complete Demo Source Code):
   Linear postnet = new Linear();
postnet.Type = BarcodeType.POSTNET;
postnet.Data = "12345";
postnet.X = 1;
postnet.Y = 60;

// Generate Postnet and encode barcode to gif format
postnet.Format = System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif;
postnet.drawBarcode("C://c#-postnet.gif");

// Print Postnet to C# Bitmap object
Bitmap postnetBitmap = postnet.drawBarcode();
Generating barcode POSTNET in VB.NET Class example (VB.NET POSTNET Generator Complete Demo Source Code):
   Dim postnet As OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear
postnet = New OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear()
postnet.Type = OnBarcode.Barcode.BarcodeType.POSTNET
postnet.Data = "123456789"
postnet.X = 1
postnet.Y = 60

' Generate Postnet and encode barcode to png format
postnet.Format = System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png
postnet.drawBarcode("C://vbnet-postnet.png")

' Print Postnet to vb.net Bitmap object
Dim postnetBitmap As Bitmap
postnetBitmap = postnet.drawBarcode()
How to Create & Draw Postnet 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=01234&TYPE=34.
  • To create barcode Postnet 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=01234&TYPE=34" />
How to Create & Encode Barcode Postnet to Image File (GIF, JPEG, PNG, BMP)?

Creating barcode Postnet in C# Class example:
   Linear postnet = new Linear();
postnet.Type = BarcodeType.POSTNET;
postnet.Data = "98765";

// Generate POSTNET and encode barcode to bmp format
postnet.Format = System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp;
postnet.drawBarcode("C://c#-postnet.bmp");
Creating barcode Postnet in VB.NET Class example:
   Dim postnet As OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear
