Cómo Generar Código de Barras en VB.NET

IronBarcode Features

The IronBarcode Library makes it simple to create dynamic barcodes. It helps us to encode barcode images with just a few lines of code. This straightforward library can create a barcode. Strong barcode generators built inside IronBarcode barcode readers allow them to create high-quality barcodes. IronBarcode allows us to create barcodes in VB.NET, C#, etc. Among various .NET libraries, this barcode generator simplifies reading your barcode using the barcode scanner.

• IronBarcode can read and write most barcode image formats and QR standards, such as UPC A/E, Databar, EAN 8/13, MSI, Code 39/93/128, CodaBar, RSS 14/Expanded, and ITF.
• It can correct rotation, noise, distortion, and skewing when reading scans and real-time video frames. IronBarcode automatically preprocesses barcode images while creating them to increase reading accuracy and speed.
• IronBarcode supports batch processing with multi-core and multi-thread capabilities, beneficial for servers.
• It can automatically locate one or more barcodes in single- and multipage documents.
• IronBarcode is compatible with both the .NET Framework and .NET Core, supporting both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.
• On PC and mobile platforms, IronBarcode supports console, desktop, cloud, and internet applications.
• IronBarcode can produce barcode images in various file and stream types, including PDF, JPG, TIFF, GIF, BMP, PNG, and HTML.

Creating a New Project in Visual Studio

Open Visual Studio, choose "New Project" from the file menu, then "Console App," "Windows Forms," or "WPF Application." In this article, we will be creating a Visual Basic Console App.

In the relevant text box, type the project name and choose the file path. Click the "Next" button.

Select the necessary .NET framework; for our tutorial, we are selecting .NET 6.0 and then clicking the "Create" button to create the project.

If you choose a console application, the project will now create the structure for that application and open the Program.cs file. You can now enter code and compile the program.

Next, download and install the IronBarcode library using the NuGet Package Manager command:

Install-Package BarCode

Alternatively, you can search for and download the "Barcode" package using the NuGet Package Manager, which will display all the search results. You can then choose the necessary package to download from them into the application.

Generate Barcode Using IronBarcode

Here is a sample VB.NET code for generating a barcode label using IronBarcode.

Imports System
Imports IronBarCode

Module Program
    Sub Main(args As String())
        ' Create a barcode with the text "Hello world" using Code128 encoding
        Dim barcode = BarcodeWriter.CreateBarcode("Hello world", BarcodeWriterEncoding.Code128, 500, 500)

        ' Add the barcode value text below the barcode
        barcode.AddBarcodeValueTextBelowBarcode()

        ' Save the barcode as a PNG image file
        barcode.SaveAsPng("demo.png")
    End Sub
End Module

Imports System
Imports IronBarCode

Module Program
    Sub Main(args As String())
        ' Create a barcode with the text "Hello world" using Code128 encoding
        Dim barcode = BarcodeWriter.CreateBarcode("Hello world", BarcodeWriterEncoding.Code128, 500, 500)

        ' Add the barcode value text below the barcode
        barcode.AddBarcodeValueTextBelowBarcode()

        ' Save the barcode as a PNG image file
        barcode.SaveAsPng("demo.png")
    End Sub
End Module

Conclusion

Due to its effectiveness and adaptability to different operating systems, the IronBarcode library is an excellent choice for creating and identifying barcodes.

It provides numerous tools for designing and modifying various barcode kinds, including options to change text, barcode data color, line width, and height. Using VB.NET Crystal Reports is also supported by this barcode generator SDK, facilitating barcode creation and drawing in VB.NET.

The IronBarcode website, which offers both commercial and free versions for developers, contains licensing information about the library. Updates and support are offered without charge for a year.
