Encode ISBN Valid Characters in VB.NET
There are 2 elements that influence ISBN input characters: (a), ISBN valid character set; (b), ISBN valid length.
(a)ISBN Valid Character Set
ISBN barcode is a numeric-only linear barcode starting with "978" or "979" which encodes:
- 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Dim barcode As BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Linear barcode = New BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Linear()
barcode.Symbology = BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Symbology.ISBN
barcode.Code = "978123456789"
barcode.drawBarcode2ImageFile("C://isbn.gif")
VB.NET ISBN barcode allows users to encode ISBN+2 barcode as well:
Dim barcode As BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Linear barcode = New BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Linear()
barcode.Symbology = BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Symbology.ISBNSup2
barcode.Code = "978123456789"
barcode.SupplementCode = "01"
barcode.drawBarcode2ImageFile("C://isbn_2.gif")
VB.NET ISBN barcode allows users to encode ISBN+5 barcode as well:
Dim barcode As BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Linear barcode = New BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Linear()
barcode.Symbology = BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Symbology.ISBNSup5
barcode.Code = "978123456789"
barcode.SupplementCode = "12345"
barcode.drawBarcode2ImageFile("C://isbn_5.gif")
(b)ISBN Valid Length
ISBN barcode is fixed-length linear barcode, which encodes numeric digits 0-9 into 12-digit, 14-digit, and 17-digit ISBN barcode, excluding a checksum digit in the end. VB.NET ISBN barcode allows user to control ISBN barcode length using Code property.
Encoding ISBN barcode into 12-digit length
Dim barcode As BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Linear barcode = New BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Linear()
barcode.Symbology = BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Symbology.ISBN
barcode.Code = "1234567890123"
barcode.drawBarcode2ImageFile("C://isbn.gif")
Encoding ISBN barcode into 14-digit length
Dim barcode As BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Linear barcode = New BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Linear()
barcode.Symbology = BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Symbology.ISBNSup2
barcode.Code = "979123456789"
barcode.SupplementCode = "79"
barcode.drawBarcode2ImageFile("C://isbn_2.gif")
Encoding ISBN barcode into 17-digit length
Dim barcode As BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Linear barcode = New BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Linear()
barcode.Symbology = BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Symbology.ISBNSup5
barcode.Code = "979123456789"
barcode.SupplementCode = "45698"
barcode.drawBarcode2ImageFile("C://isbn_5.gif")
