How to Generate Code 39 with C#, VB.NET Class in ASP.NET?
Copy those following sample code to your ASP.NET projects:
using BusinessRefinery.Barcode;
Linear barcode = new Linear();
barcode.Symbology = Symbology.CODE39;
barcode.Code = "0123456789";
barcode.DisplayStartStopChar = true;
barcode.Resolution = 104;
barcode.Rotate = Rotate.Rotate180;
barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Gif;
barcode.drawBarcode2ImageFile("c:/code-39-csharp.gif");
Dim barcode As BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Linear =
New BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Linear()
barcode.Symbology = BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Symbology.CODE39
barcode.Code = "0123456789"
barcode.Resolution = 104
barcode.Rotate = BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Rotate.Rotate270
barcode.Format = System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif
barcode.drawBarcode2ImageFile("c:/code-39-vb-net.gif")
How to Create Your Own Code 39 in IIS?
