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

.NET Code 39 Introduction

Code 39 is also known as ANSI/AIM Code 39, ANSI/AIM Code 39, Uniform Symbology Specification Code 39, USS Code 39, USS 39, Code 3/9, Code 3 of 9, USD-3, LOGMARS, Alpha39, Code 39 Extended, and Code 39 Full ASCII

How to generate Code-39 barcodes in C#.NET Class?

The following C# .NET code illustrates how to generate a Code-39 barcode in C# class:

using KeepDynamic.Barcode.Generator;

// Create linear barcode object in C#
BarCode barcode = new BarCode();

// Set barcode symbology type to Code-39 in C#
barcode.SymbologyType = SymbologyType.Code39;

// Set Code39 barcode value in C#
barcode.CodeText = "CODE39";

// Set Code39 drawing image format to PNG in C#
barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png;

// Generate Code-39 barcode & encode to the png image in C#
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-code39-csharp.png");
  
// Generate Code-39 barcode & print to System.Drawing.Graphics object in C#
barcode.drawBarcode("Graphics object");
 
// Create Code-39 barcode & draw to System.IO.Stream object in C#
barcode.drawBarcode("Stream object");




How to generate Code-39 barcodes in VB.NET Class?

The following VB.NET code illustrates how to generate Code-39 barcodes in VB.NET class:

// 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")
