n this article I will explain how to dynamically generate and display barcode image using ASP.Net in C# and VB.Net languages.
Barcode Font
First you will need to download the Free Barcode Font from the following URL
Once downloaded follow the following steps.
1. Extract the ZIP file.
2. Click and Execute INSTALL.exe file.
3. After installation is completed restart your machine.
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:TextBox ID="txtCode" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="btnGenerate" runat="server" Text="Generate" onclick="btnGenerate_Click" />
<hr />
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="plBarCode" runat="server" />
</form>
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing.Imaging
Imports System.IO
Protected Sub btnGenerate_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Dim barCode As String = txtCode.Text
Dim imgBarCode As New System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image()
Using bitMap As New Bitmap(barCode.Length * 40, 80)
Using graphics__1 As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bitMap)
Dim oFont As New Font("IDAutomationHC39M", 16)
Dim point As New PointF(2.0F, 2.0F)
Dim blackBrush As New SolidBrush(Color.Black)
Dim whiteBrush As New SolidBrush(Color.White)
graphics__1.FillRectangle(whiteBrush, 0, 0, bitMap.Width, bitMap.Height)
graphics__1.DrawString("*" & barCode & "*", oFont, blackBrush, point)
End Using
Using ms As New MemoryStream()
bitMap.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png)
Dim byteImage As Byte() = ms.ToArray()
Convert.ToBase64String(byteImage)
imgBarCode.ImageUrl = "data:image/png;base64," & Convert.ToBase64String(byteImage)
End Using
plBarCode.Controls.Add(imgBarCode)
End Using
End Sub
