.NET GS1-128/EAN-128 Generator for .NET, C#, ASP.NET, VB.NET

Create & Generate GS1-128/EAN-128 Barcodes in C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET

GS1-128 is an application standard of the GS1 implementation using the Code 128 barcode specification. The former correct name was UCC/EAN-128. Other no longer used names have included UCC-128 and EAN-128. GS1-128 uses a series of Application Identifiers to include additional data such as best before dates, batch numbers, quantities, weights and many other attributes needed by the user.

.NET Barcode GS1-128/EAN-128 prints:

• all 128 characters of ASCII
• values 128-255 in accordance with ISO 8859-1. There are referred to as extended ASCII.

   using BusinessRefinery.Barcode;

   // construct a linear barcode object
   Linear barcode = new Linear();  
    
   // set linear barcode symbolgoy to GS1-128/EAN-128
   barcode.Symbology = Symbology.EAN128;
    
   // set GS1-128/EAN-128 code text to encode		      
   barcode.Code = "Barcode-GS1-128-in-C#";  
    
   //draw barcode and save into image file in gif format   
   barcode.drawBarcode2ImageFile("ean128-in-csharp.gif");    

// construct a linear barcode object
Dim barcode As BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Linear
barcode = New BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Linear()

// set linear barcode symbolgoy to GS1-128/EAN-128
barcode.Symbology = BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Symbology.EAN128

// set GS1-128/EAN-128 code text to encode	
barcode.Code = "Barcode-GS1-128-in-VB.NET"

//draw barcode and save into image file in gif format  
barcode.drawBarcode2ImageFile("ean128-in-vbnet.gif")

3. How to encode Application Identifier (AI) to compatible with GS1 128 in .NET?

You need put parentheses around AI. View the details in the following Java code:

	using BusinessRefinery.Barcode;

            Linear barcode = new Linear();
            barcode.Symbology = Symbology.EAN128;
            // The first AI 11 means production date is Jan 01, 2009
            // The second AI 13 means packaging date is Feb 01, 2009
            barcode.Code("(11)090101(13)090201");
            barcode.drawBarcode2ImageFile("ean128-in-csharp.gif");

4. How to draw GS1-128/EAN-128 barcodes to image files (GIF, JPEG, BMP, PNG, & TIFF)?

            using BusinessRefinery.Barcode;

            Linear barcode = new Linear();
            barcode.Symbology = Symbology.EAN128;
            barcode.Code = "BarCode GS1-128 in C#";
            barcode.drawBarcode2ImageFile("ean128-in-csharp.gif");

5. How to draw & print GS1-128/EAN-128 barcodes to .NET objects like Graphics, Stream, Bitmap?

            using BusinessRefinery.Barcode;

            Linear barcode = new Linear();
            barcode.Symbology = Symbology.EAN128;
            barcode.Code = "C# GS1-128 Barcodes";

            barcode.drawBarcode2Stream("Stream object");

            Bitmap barcodeInBitmap = barcode.drawBarcodeOnBitmap();

            barcode.drawBarcodeOnGraphics("Graphics object");
