Create Codabar using Console Application Template

  • Draw Codabar bar code images by using Command Lines
  • Be used as essential tool to develop Console applications that draw Codabar
  • Integrate with Console Application Template in Visual Studio
  • Visual Basic, Visual C#, and Visual Jscript are supported
  • Image Formats including GIF, BMP, PNG, JPEG, and TIFF are supported
  • Reusable .NET component

Visual Studio Console Application Template

Visual Studio carries A number of visual Studio Templates. They are developed to create the basic container of the application, class, controls you are developing. It also builds the basic items you need.

Console Application Template is used in Console Application Development. It draws the basic structure of the console application easily by adding essential project reference and files to the console application.

The Console Application retains all the functionality of .NET Codabar Generator. It supports image formats: GIF, BMP, PNG, JPEG, and BITMAP. It provides flexible barcode size options as well as barcode color options. The Codabar bar code image could be rotated to 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees.

All the functionality could be easily inherited from .NET Codabar Generator to the console application you created. Thus, you can use command line to implement UPC A barcode generation in .NET.

Codabar Introduction

Codabar Background information

Codabar is a barcode symbology, which is linear. It was invented in 1972 by Pitney Bowes Corp. Codabar also has other well-known names such as Code 2 of 7, Ames Code, Codeabar, Monarch, NW-7, Rationalized Codabar, ANSI/AIM BC3-1995 and USD-4. Till now, Codabar has not officially been signed up for American trademark status, yet Code-a-bar which is its variant is a widely recognized trademark.

Codabar History

Originally, it was designed to be read precisely even when printed on dot-matrix printers for various forms which have blood bank and FedEx airbills forms. There is even a possibility of printing Codabar codes by using impact printers which are typewriters-like. Despite the fact that newly-updated symbologies include more information in a fairly smaller space, Codabar has a huge installed base in libraries. Besides, it can help create plenty of codes with subsequent numbers, in which process no digital equipment has to be used. For instance, in mechanical mile counters, the printer's stamp is automatically moved on to the next number when each code is done being printed.

Codabar Encoding

That the body of a Codabar string may only encode the numerals 0 through 9 depends on the special criterion. The symbols such as dollar, dash, plus sign, colon, slash, and dot are also allowed by some variants. As Codabar is self-checking, a check digit is not defined by most standards. Nevertheless, a particular check digit is required by the variants of Codabar when they are used in public and in commercials.

Codabar Specifications

In many specifications, some alphabet characters like A, M, N, T, are usually used in matching pairs so that they can represent the beginning and the end of the barcode. However, this phenomenon can never be seen in the body of a Codabar string.
