ISSN C#.NET Generator FAQ

1. What types of projects is supported


Console application, Class library, as well as Control library could be integrated with ISSN C#.NET Generator easily. All of these projects may generate quality ISSN barcode images once ISSN generator installed.

2. How to Install ISSN C#.NET Generator in C#.NET IDEs


Follow Steps in C#.NET Barcode Generator Installation Guide.

After installation, create a linear barcode object (named csharpISSN for example), as shown below:

Linear csharpISSN = new Linear();

Then, set linear barcode symbology type to be ISSN, shown as follow:

csharpISSN.Symbology = Symbology.ISSN;

3. What Data Length is Encodable


Each ISSN encodes 13 digits. One digit in it is automatically calculated and printed as checksum. GS1 prefix 977 should be added in every ISSN as the first three digits.

4. How to Encode Numeric Data Characters


barcode.Symbology = Symbology.ISSN;

barcode.Code = "123123123";

5. How to Encrypt Data Characters in Supplement barcode


The Encoding of Supplement barcode characters is very similar to that of ISSN. They are supplement to the ISSN barcodes and are often used on magazines and periodicals to indicate an issue number.

barcode.Symbology = Symbology.ISSN_2;

barcode.SupplementCode = "12";

barcode.Code = "123123123";

barcode.Symbology = Symbology.ISSN_5;

barcode.SupplementCode = "12345";

barcode.Code = "123123123";
