.NET Code 2 of 5 Introduction
Code 2 of 5 is also known as 2 of 5
Industrial, 2/5 Industrial, 2 of 5 Standard, Standard 2 of 5, 2/5 Standard,

Stanadard 2 of 5 is a low-density numeric symbology that has been with us since the 1960s.
It has been used in the photofinishing and warehouse sorting industries,
as well as sequentially numbering airline tickets. The symbology is called "2 of 5" due to the
fact that digits are encoded with 5 bars, 2 of which are always wide (and the remaining three are narrow).
.NET Barcode Generator - How to generate barcodes in C# Class?
The following C# .NET code illustrates how to generate a barcode in C# class:
using KeepDynamic.Barcode.Generator;
BarCode barcode = new BarCode();
barcode.SymbologyType = SymbologyType.Code39;
barcode.CodeText = "CODE39";
barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png;
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-code39-csharp.png");
barcode.drawBarcode("Graphics object");
barcode.drawBarcode("Stream object");
.NET Barcode Generator - How to create barcodes in VB.NET Class?
The following VB.NET code illustrates how to generate a barcode 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-39 in VB.NET
barcode.SymbologyType = SymbologyType.Code39;
// Set Code39 barcode value in VB.NET
barcode.CodeText = "CODE39"
// Set Code39 drawing image format to PNG in VB.NET
barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png
// Generate Code-39 barcode & encode to the png image in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-code39-vbnet.png")
// Generate Code-39 barcode & print to System.Drawing.Graphics object in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("Graphics object")
// Create Code-39 barcode & draw to System.IO.Stream object in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("Stream object")
