.NET Barcode EAN 13 Generator for .NET, C#, ASP.NET, VB.NET
.NET Barcode offers the most affordable .NET barcode generator for barcode .NET professionals.
.NET EAN-13 Introduction
EAN-13 is also known as European
Article Number 13, EAN-13 Supplement 5/Five-digit Add-On, EAN-13 Supplement
2/Two-digit Add-On, EAN-13+5, EAN-13+2, EAN13, EAN13+5, EAN13+2, UPC-13,
GTIN-13, GS1-13, EAN/UCC-13
A European Article Number (EAN) is a barcoding standard which is a superset of the original 12-digit Universal Product Code (UPC) system developed in North America. The EAN-13 barcode is defined by the standards organisation GS1. It is also called a Japanese Article Number (JAN) in Japan. UPC, EAN, and JAN numbers are collectively called Global Trade Item Numbers (GTIN), though they can be expressed in different types of barcodes.

How to generate EAN-13 barcodes in C#.NET Class?
The following C# .NET code illustrates how to generate a EAN-13 barcode in C# class:
using KeepDynamic.Barcode.Generator;
// Create linear barcode object in C#
BarCode barcode = new BarCode();
// Set barcode symbology type to EAN-13 in C#
barcode.SymbologyType = SymbologyType.EAN13;
// Set EAN-13 barcode value in C#
barcode.CodeText = "000123456789";
// Set EAN-13 drawing image format to PNG in C#
barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png;
// Generate EAN-13 barcode & encode to the png image in C#
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-ean13-csharp.png");
// Generate EAN-13 barcode & print to System.Drawing.Graphics object in C#
barcode.drawBarcode("Graphics object");
// Create EAN-13 barcode & draw to System.IO.Stream object in C#
barcode.drawBarcode("Stream object");
// Create linear barcode object in C#
BarCode barcode = new BarCode();
// Set barcode symbology type to EAN-13 in C#
barcode.SymbologyType = SymbologyType.EAN13;
// Set EAN-13 barcode value in C#
barcode.CodeText = "000123456789";
// Set EAN-13 drawing image format to PNG in C#
barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png;
// Generate EAN-13 barcode & encode to the png image in C#
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-ean13-csharp.png");
// Generate EAN-13 barcode & print to System.Drawing.Graphics object in C#
barcode.drawBarcode("Graphics object");
// Create EAN-13 barcode & draw to System.IO.Stream object in C#
barcode.drawBarcode("Stream object");
How to generate EAN-13 barcodes in VB.NET Class?
The following VB.NET code illustrates how to generate EAN-13 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 EAN-13 in VB.NET
barcode.SymbologyType = SymbologyType.EAN13;
// Set EAN-13 barcode value in VB.NET
barcode.CodeText = "000123456789"
// Set EAN-13 drawing image format to PNG in VB.NET
barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png
// Generate EAN-13 barcode & encode to the png image in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-ean13-vbnet.png")
// Generate EAN-13 barcode & print to System.Drawing.Graphics object in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("Graphics object")
// Create EAN-13 barcode & draw to System.IO.Stream object in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("Stream object")
Dim barcode As KeepDynamic.Barcode.Generator.BarCode
barcode = New KeepDynamic.Barcode.Generator.BarCode()
// Set barcode symbology type to EAN-13 in VB.NET
barcode.SymbologyType = SymbologyType.EAN13;
// Set EAN-13 barcode value in VB.NET
barcode.CodeText = "000123456789"
// Set EAN-13 drawing image format to PNG in VB.NET
barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png
// Generate EAN-13 barcode & encode to the png image in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-ean13-vbnet.png")
// Generate EAN-13 barcode & print to System.Drawing.Graphics object in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("Graphics object")
// Create EAN-13 barcode & draw to System.IO.Stream object in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("Stream object")
