Hi guys!
I have developed this simple dll for the barcode printing / representation, the use is very simple :
this is the code of the sample form:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using BarcodeFree;
namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Code128 text = new Code128();
this.textBox2.Text = text.Encode( textBox1.Text);
ImageBarcode barcode, barcode2, barcode3, barcode4;
//parameters to call ImageBarcode:
//public ImageBarcode(int width, int height, string value, bool Landscape = false, Color? color = null,Color? colorFore=null )
barcode = new ImageBarcode(pictureBox1.Width, pictureBox1.Height, textBox2.Text);
barcode2 = new ImageBarcode(pictureBox2.Width, pictureBox2.Height, textBox2.Text, false, Color.Red, Color.Yellow );
barcode3 = new ImageBarcode(pictureBox3.Width, pictureBox3.Height, textBox2.Text, true);
barcode4 = new ImageBarcode(pictureBox4.Width, pictureBox4.Height, textBox2.Text, false, Color.Turquoise , Color.LightGray);
// barcode = new ImageBarcode(250, 112, textBox2.Text);
this.pictureBox1.Image = barcode.GenerateImage();
this.pictureBox2.Image = barcode2.GenerateImage();
this.pictureBox3.Image = barcode3.GenerateImage();
this.pictureBox4.Image = barcode4.GenerateImage();
// this.pictureBox1.Refresh();
}
}
}
And Finally the DLL( for demo test):
/images/BarcodeFree.dll
