ISSN - Brief Introduction

ISSN VB .NET Generator - ISSN Size Setting Functionality

1. Generate ISSN with Add-on Symbol

An add-on symbol could be used to accompany an ISSN in our ISSN Barcode Control for VB.NET. The add-on symbol is used to provide supplement information such as issue number and product price.

1. construct a linear barcode object

Dim barcode As BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Linear

barcode = New BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Linear()

2. Select the digits of the supplement barcode by seting linear barcode symbology
ISSN with 2-digit supplement barcode:

barcode.Symbology = BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Symbology.ISSN_2

ISSN with 5-digit supplement barcode:

barcode.Symbology = BusinessRefinery.Barcode.Symbology.ISSN_5

3. set ISSN code text to encode

For example, 977654321012:

barcode.Code = "977654321012"

4. set ISSN supplement code text to encode

For example, 21:

barcode.SupplementCode = "21"

5. draw barcode and save into image file in gif format

For example, Gif:

barcode.drawBarcode2ImageFile("issn-in-vbnet.gif")
