Barcodes

[Chan]

Anyone know how I can print out barcodes using C#?

I need the user to input something in a textbox and then it create a barcode from this input. Has anyone ever done this before or know how to do this?

Yeah - you need barcode fonts installed, and then you just do a string in that font. There's different fonts for different barcode symboligies.

You could also use GDI+ to draw the barcode, but it'd be difficult....I think there's some articles on CodeProject showing how to do that though.

Yup, barcodes are no big thing - you just need the fonts.

Where do I get the fonts though?

You can buy them, or you can find free ones...Do you know what symbology you need? Code 128, Codabar, Inteleaved 2 of 5, etc...
