How to Generate Barcode Images in C# for .NET using IronBarcode

In this tutorial, learn how to generate barcode images using C# and the IronBarcode library. Begin by opening Visual Studio and accessing the package manager console. Install the barcode library using the command Install-Package Barcode. Once installed, navigate to the Program.cs file to write your code.

First, you need to import the IronBarcode namespace, which provides all the necessary classes and methods to create and manage barcodes. Use BarcodeWriter.CreateBarcode() to generate the barcode, specifying the text you wish to encode. In this example, the text is 'This is my first barcode by IronBarcode'. The encoding scheme used here is BarcodeEncoding.Code128. Finally, save the barcode as an image file. You can choose from formats like PNG, JPEG, and PDF. Here, we'll save it as 'barcode.png'.
