Specifies the direction of the barcode

The barcode is rendered in the horizontal direction.

The barcode is rendered from the bottom up.

The barcode is rendered from the top down.

Specifies the type of barcode to be generated by the C1BarCode control.

The enumeration represents the different types of barcode that can be generated by the control. Some types of barcode can be used to represent alphanumeric values, others can only represent numeric values.

Code 39 is an alpha-numeric encoding also known as 3 of 9 and LOGMARS. This was the first alphanumeric symbology developed, and is one of the most widely used encodings.

Code 93 is an alpha-numeric encoding that is slightly denser than code 39.

Code 128 is a very high density alpha-numeric bar code. It will use the least amount of space of any current 1-D symbology for symbols with 6 characters or more.

Code I2of5 is a numeric encoding. The symbol can be as long as necessary to store the encoded data.

Codabar may encode 16 different characters (0 through 9 plus -$:/.+), plus an additional 4 start/stop characters (A through D). Codabar is used by some US blood banks, photo labs, and on FedEx airbills.

PostNet is a numeric encoding used by the US postal service. It differs from most others in that it is based on the height of the bars rather than on their width.

EAN-13 was implemented by the International Article Numbering Association (EAN) in Europe. EAN-13 encodes a 12-digit code that consists of a 2 digit system code followed by a 5 digit manufacturer code and a 5-digit product code. The 12-digit code is followed by a checksum digit (automatically added by the control).

EAN-8 provides a short barcode for small packages. It encodes a 7-digit code that consists of a 2 or 3 digit system code followed by a 4 or 5 digit product code. The 7-digit code is followed by a checksum digit (automatically added by the control).

UPC-A is the the common encoding you will find on virtually every consumer good on the shelves of your local supermarket, as well as books, magazines, and newspapers. It is similar to EAN-13, and encodes 11 digits of numeric data along with a trailing check digit.

Creates barcode representations of alphanumeric values.

To use the C1BarCode control, set the property to the type of encoding you want to use, then set the property to the value you want to encode. The control will show the barcode image. If you want to include the barcode in a document, use the property to retrieve a resolution-independent image of the barcode. This sample shows how to use the Text property to encode the value "123456" as a Code39-encoded barcode.


            c1barcode1.CodeType = CodeTypeEnum.Code39;
            c1barcode1.Text = "123456";
            pictureBox1.Image = c1barcode1.Image;

Creates a new instance of the control.

Gets an image of the barcode that represents the value in the property, obtained using the encoding specified by the property.

An value that specifies the type of image to be created. An image of the barcode with the specified format. The property can also be used to obtain an image of the barcode. However, it always returns a image of a pre-set size and with a transparent background. This method returns solid-background bitmaps.

Gets an image of the barcode that represents the value in the property, obtained using the encoding specified by the property.

An value that specifies the type of image to be created. The width of the image, in pixels. The height of the image, in pixels. An image of the barcode with the specified format and dimensions. The property can also be used to obtain an image of the barcode. However, it always returns a image of a pre-set size and with a transparent background. This method returns solid-background bitmaps.

Raises the Paint event.

A PaintEventArgs that contains the event data.

Gets or sets the background color for the control.

The background color only applies to the control. The barcode image that is available through the property always has a transparent background.

Gets or sets the foreground color for the control.

The foreground color applies to the control and also to the barcode image that is available through the property.

Gets or sets the Font used to display the value of the Text property.

If the property is set to true, then the value of the property is displayed centered along the bottom of the barcode image using the given font.

Gets or sets whether the value of the Text property should be displayed along with the barcode image.

By default, the control will show only the barcode image. To include a textual representation of the value in the property, set the property to True and set the property to the Font to be used for the textual display.

Gets or sets the value that is encoded as a barcode image.

Some encodings support alpha-numeric values of any length. Others are limited to numeric values or to a specific set of characters. See the enumeration for details. If you use characters that are invalid for the current encoding, the control will display a blank image. This sample shows how to use the Text property to encode the value "123456" as a Code39-encoded barcode.


            c1barcode1.CodeType = CodeTypeEnum.Code39;
            c1barcode1.Text = "123456";
            pictureBox1.Image = c1barcode1.Image;

Gets or sets the type of encoding to use when generating the barcode image.

The selected encoding is applied to the value stored in the property to generate the barcode image displayed in the control. The barcode image is also available through the property. This sample shows how to use the CodeType property to encode the value "123456" as a Code39-encoded barcode.


            c1barcode1.CodeType = CodeTypeEnum.Code39;
            c1barcode1.Text = "123456";
            pictureBox1.Image = c1barcode1.Image;

Gets or sets the width of the narrow bars in screen pixels.

By default, narrow bars are one screen pixel wide (1/96") and wide bars are two pixels wide (1/96"). You should never have to change these values, they are exposed only in case you need to make adjustments for special barcode reader hardware.

Gets or sets the width of the wide bars in screen pixels.

Gets or sets the height of the bars in screen pixels.

Gets or sets how the barcode image is displayed within the control.

This property only affects how the barcode is displayed within the control. It has no effect on the actual barcode image, as returned by the property. In most applications, you will either center or left-align the barcode image within the control. Although stretching the image is possible, it may make it unreadable for some barcode readers.

Gets or sets the direction of the barcode.

Gets an image of the barcode that represents the value in the property, obtained using the encoding specified by the property.

The Image property returns a that can be inserted in reports and other documents. If the value stored in the property is invalid for the current encoding, the image returned is blank. Although the barcode image returned by the control is scalable, the default size is optimal for common barcode readers. Keep in mind that if you stretch the image and make it very large or very small, it may become unreadable to some readers. The metafile image has a transparent background and therefore cannot be easily converted to a solid-background bitmap. To obtain a image of the barcode, use the method instead.
