Barcode Generator SDK to Create Barcode in WinForms Using C# - Barcode Image Generation

After barcode generator library SDK installation, drag and drop a button onto Form and double click on the button
Include the Terrek.barcode namespace to the solution, that is using Terrek.barcode;
Once the reference to the using Terrek.barcode namespace is added to the C# solution, the bar code object may be instantiated, that is BarCode barcode = new BarCode();
Use the C# methods associcated with the barcode system, method in the C# class take a string as an input value and encode the data to the format of the symbology. 40+ linear and 2D barcode types, functions and features are built into the Windows Forms applications with default value
Debug the WinForms project after barcode coding in C#

Sample C# Coding to Generate Barcode Images in WinForms Project

This following C# code is using QR Code as an example, if programmers need to generate other barcode system types, change relevant barcode symbols and barcode data accordingly. Special barcode settings may be appended according to the functionality of the barcode generator for WinForms.

using Terrek.Barcode;
BarcodeControl qrcode = new BarcodeControl();
qrcode. Symbol = BarcodeSymbol.QRCode;
qrcode.BarcodeData = "http://www.terrek.com/products/aspnet_barcode/aspnet_qrcode.shtml";
qrcode.QRCodeDataMode=QRCodeDataMode.Auto;
qrcode.QRCodeECL=QRCodeECL.H;
//qrcode image setting
qrcode.DotsPerInch = 96;
qrcode.BarcodeFormat = System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png;
qrcode.drawBarcode("C:\\qrcode.png");
//qrcode size setting
qrcode.ImageResize = true;
qrcode.MeasuringUnit = MeasuringUnit.PIXEL;
qrcode.BarWidth = 2;
qrcode.QRVersion=QRCodeVersion.V10;
qrcode.ImageWidth = 0;
qrcode.ImageHeight = 0;
qrcode. MarginL = 10;
qrcode. MarginR = 10;
qrcode. MarginT = 10;
qrcode. MarginB = 10;
//qrcode barcode placement setting
qrcode.Rotation = Rotation.Degree0;
qrcode.BarAlign = BarAlign.Center;
//qrcode color setting
qrcode. ImageColor = Color.White;
qrcode. BarColor = Color.Black;
