VB.NET Barcode Generator offers the most affordable .NET barcode generator for barcode .NET professionals.

How to generate linear (1D) barcodes in VB.NET Class?

The following VB.NET code illustrates how to generate linear barcodes in VB.NET class:

// Create linear barcode object in VB.NET
Dim barcode As KeepDynamic.Barcode.Generator.BarCode
barcode = New KeepDynamic.Barcode.Generator.BarCode()

// Set barcode symbology type to Code-128 in VB.NET
barcode.SymbologyType = SymbologyType.Code128;

// Set barcode value in VB.NET
barcode.CodeText = "Code128"

// Set barcode drawing image format to PNG in VB.NET
barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png

// Generate barcode & encode to the png image in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-code128-vbnet.png")

// Generate barcode & print to System.Drawing.Graphics object in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("Graphics object")

// Create barcode & draw to System.IO.Stream object in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("Stream object")

How to generate Data Matrix barcodes in VB.NET Class?

The following VB.NET code illustrates how to generate Data Matrix barcodes in VB.NET class:

// Create Data Matrix barcode object in VB.NET
Dim barcode As KeepDynamic.Barcode.Generator.DataMatrix
barcode = New KeepDynamic.Barcode.Generator.DataMatrix()

// Set Data Matrix barcode value in VB.NET
barcode.CodeText = "Data Matrix in VB.NET"

// Set Data Matrix drawing image format to PNG in VB.NET
barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png

// Generate Data Matrix barcode & encode to the png image in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-datamatrix-vbnet.png")

// Generate Data Matrix barcode & print to System.Drawing.Graphics object in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("Graphics object")

// Create Data Matrix barcode & draw to System.IO.Stream object in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("Stream object")

How to generate PDF-417 barcodes in VB.NET Class?

The following VB.NET code illustrates how to generate PDF-417 barcodes in VB.NET class:

// Create PDF417 barcode object in VB.NET
Dim barcode As KeepDynamic.Barcode.Generator.PDF417
barcode = New KeepDynamic.Barcode.Generator.PDF417()

// Set PDF-417 barcode value in VB.NET
barcode.CodeText = "PDF417 in VB.NET"

// Set PDF-417 drawing image format to PNG in VB.NET
barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png

// Generate PDF-417 barcode & encode to the png image in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-pdf417-vbnet.png")

// Generate PDF-417 barcode & print to System.Drawing.Graphics object in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("Graphics object")

// Create PDF-417 barcode & draw to System.IO.Stream object in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("Stream object")

How to generate QR-Code barcodes in VB.NET Class?

The following VB.NET code illustrates how to generate QR-Code barcodes in VB.NET class:

// Create linear barcode object in VB.NET
Dim barcode As KeepDynamic.Barcode.Generator.QRCode
barcode = New KeepDynamic.Barcode.Generator.QRCode()

// Set QR-Code barcode value in VB.NET
barcode.CodeText = "QRCode in VB.NET"

// Set QR-Code drawing image format to PNG in VB.NET
barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png

// Generate QR-Code barcode & encode to the png image in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-qrcode-vbnet.png")

// Generate QR-Code barcode & print to System.Drawing.Graphics object in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("Graphics object")

// Create QR-Code barcode & draw to System.IO.Stream object in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("Stream object")
