After ISBN VB.NET Generator installation, get it ready in VB.NET by placing the following statement:

Dim isbn As OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear

isbn = New OnBarcode.Barcode.Linear

isbn.Type = OnBarcode.Barcode.BarcodeType.ISBN

SupHeight & SupSpace

The height of the supplement barcode is controlled by property SupHeight (Type: Float; Default: 0.8).The space between the main barcode and the supplement barcode is set by property SupSpace (Float; Default: 15 pixels).

Sample usage:

isbn.SupHeight = 0.7

isbn.SupSpace = 10

UOM

UOM is the controller of size setting unit. Pixel, Cm, and Inch are provided as its options. The default value of UOM is Pixel. For example, type the following statement to select Pixel as the unit of size setting measure:

isbn.UOM = OnBarcode.Barcode.UnitOfMeasure.PIXEL

X & Y

Property X (Type: Float; Default: 1) and Property Y (Type: Float; Default: 60) are used in ISBN barcode symbol size setting. X is for the module width setting (supplement barcode included), and Y controls the height of the bar.

Sample usage:

isbn.X = 2

isbn.Y = 70

BarCodeHeight & BarCodeWidth

Property BarCodeHeight (Type: Float; Default: 0) and Property BarCodeWidth (Type: Float; Default: 0) to set the size of the whole image.

Sample usage:

isbn.BarcodeHeight = 60

isbn.BarcodeWidth = 175

AutoResize

When the value of X, Y, BarCodeWidth, and BarCodeHeight conflict with each other, Property AutoResize (Type: bool; Default: False) should be enabled to solve the problem and make the ISBN 100% compatible with its symbology specification. See ISBN Barcode Size in VB.NET to know more usage of AutoResize.

Sample usage:

isbn.X = 2

isbn.BarcodeHeight = 60

isbn.AutoResize = True

TopMargin, BottomMargin, LeftMargin, & RightMargin

Using ISBN VB.NET Generator, a quiet zone with 10X width will be generated automatically at each side of the ISBN. When wider quiet zone is needed, you can increase the value of properties LeftMargin (Type: Float; Default: 0) and RightMargin (Type: Float; Default: 0). You can also create margins using TopMargin (Type: Float; Default: 0) and BottomMargin (Type: Float; Default: 0).

Sample usage:

isbn.TopMargin = 10

isbn.BottomMargin = 10

isbn.LeftMargin = 10

isbn.RightMargin = 10

TextMargin

Human readable text are required in almost every linear barcode symbology. Property TextMargin (Type: Float; Default: 6 pixel) is used to set the space between ISBN bar code and the human readable text below the barcode.

Sample usage:

isbn.TextMargin = 10
