How to create, print barcodes in Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Service (SSRS) for .NET applications?

.NET Barcode Generator Components are built on C#.NET 2005. They are compatible with Microsoft C#.NET, VB.NET, Borland Delphi for Microsoft .NET, Visual Studio .NET Framework 2.0 or later version.

Install

1. Download the trial package and unzip
   
   
2. Copy OnBarcode.Barcode.WinForms.dll or OnBarcode.Barcode.ASPNET.dll to your .NET project folder.
   Do not copy dll to .NET bin directory, .NET build tools will do it for you.
   
   
3. Add OnBarcode.Barcode.WinForms.dll or OnBarcode.Barcode.ASPNET.dll to .NET project reference

Add ASP.NET Web Form Control to ASP.NET Visual Studio Toolbox

1. Right click .NET Visual Studio Toolbox, select menu Choose Items...
   
   
2. In "Choose Toolbox Items" form, click button "Browse...", and select dll OnBarcode.Barcode.ASPNET.dll
   
   
3. After selection, you will find four items under "Components" section: LinearWebForm, DataMatrixWebForm, PDF417WebForm, and QRCodeWebForm.

Add .NET Windows Form Control to .NET Visual Studio Toolbox

1. Right click .NET Visual Studio Toolbox, select menu Choose Items...
   
   
2. In "Choose Toolbox Items" form, click button "Browse...", and select dll OnBarcode.Barcode.WinForms.dll
   
   
3. After selection, you will find four items under "Components" section: LinearWinForm, DataMatrixWinForm, PDF417WinForm, and QRCodeWinForm.

Generating barcodes in C# Class example

	// Create a linear object and set barcode symbology type to Code-39
        Linear barcode = new Linear();
        barcode.Type = BarcodeType.CODE39;
        
        // Set barcode value
        barcode.Data = "CODE39";
        
        // Set barcode bar width (X module) and bar height (Y module)
        barcode.X = 1;
        barcode.Y = 60;
        
        // Generate barcode and encode barcode to gif format
        barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Gif;
        barcode.drawBarcode("c#-barcode.gif");
        
        // Print barcode to C# Bitmap object
        Bitmap barcodeInBitmap = barcode.drawBarcode();
	        

Other C# methods to generate barcodes & output to C# objects

        public void drawBarcode(Graphics graphics);

        public void drawBarcode(string filename);

        public Bitmap drawBarcode();

        public void drawBarcode(Stream fileStream);

Generating barcodes in VB.NET Class example

		// Create linear barcode object and set barcode type
	        Dim barcode As OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear
	        barcode = New OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear()
	        barcode.Type = OnBarcode.Barcode.BarcodeType.CODE39
	        
	        // Set barcode value to encode
	        barcode.Data = "CODE39"
	        
	        // Set barcode bar width (X module) and bar height (Y module)
	        barcode.X = 1
	        barcode.Y = 60
	        
	        // Generate barcode and encode barcode to png format
	        barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png
	        barcode.drawBarcode("vbnet-barcode.png")
	        
	        // Print barcode to vb.net Bitmap object
	        Dim barcodeInBitmap As Bitmap
	        barcodeInBitmap = barcode.drawBarcode();

Other VB.NET methods to generate barcodes & output to VB.NET objects

	        Public Sub drawBarcode(ByRef graphics As Graphics)
	
	        Public Sub drawBarcode(ByVal filename As String)
	
	        Public Function drawBarcode() As Bitmap
	
	        Public Sub drawBarcode(ByRef fileStream As Stream)

• 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=0123456789&TYPE=4
  
  
• To generate barcode 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=0123456789&TYPE=4" />
