.NET Barcode UPC-A Generator for .NET, C#, ASP.NET, VB.NET
.NET Barcode offers the most affordable .NET barcode generator for barcode .NET professionals.
.NET UPC-A Introduction
UPC-A is also known as Universal
Product Code version A, UPC-A Supplement 5/Five-digit Add-On, UPC-A Supplement
2/Two-digit Add-On, UPC-A+5, UPC-A+2, UPC Code, UPC Symbol, GTIN-12, GS1-12, UCC-12
UPC-A is used for marking products which are sold at retail in the USA. The barcode identifies the manufacturer and specific product so point-of- sale cash register systems can automatically look up the price.
The UPC-A Code and the assignment of manufacturer ID numbers is controlled in the U.S.A. by the Uniform Code Council (UCC).

How to generate UPC-A barcodes in C#.NET Class?
The following C# .NET code illustrates how to generate a UPC-A barcode in C# class:
using KeepDynamic.Barcode.Generator;
// Create linear barcode object in C#
BarCode barcode = new BarCode();
// Set barcode symbology type to UPC-A in C#
barcode.SymbologyType = SymbologyType.UPCA;
// Set UPC-A barcode value in C#
barcode.CodeText = "00123456789";
// Set UPC-A drawing image format to PNG in C#
barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png;
// Generate UPC-A barcode & encode to the png image in C#
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-upca-csharp.png");
// Generate UPC-A barcode & print to System.Drawing.Graphics object in C#
barcode.drawBarcode("Graphics object");
// Create UPC-A 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 UPC-A in C#
barcode.SymbologyType = SymbologyType.UPCA;
// Set UPC-A barcode value in C#
barcode.CodeText = "00123456789";
// Set UPC-A drawing image format to PNG in C#
barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png;
// Generate UPC-A barcode & encode to the png image in C#
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-upca-csharp.png");
// Generate UPC-A barcode & print to System.Drawing.Graphics object in C#
barcode.drawBarcode("Graphics object");
// Create UPC-A barcode & draw to System.IO.Stream object in C#
barcode.drawBarcode("Stream object");
How to generate UPC-A barcodes in VB.NET Class?
The following VB.NET code illustrates how to generate UPC-A 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 UPC-A in VB.NET
barcode.SymbologyType = SymbologyType.UPCA;
// Set UPC-A barcode value in VB.NET
barcode.CodeText = "00123456789"
// Set UPC-A drawing image format to PNG in VB.NET
barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png
// Generate UPC-A barcode & encode to the png image in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-upca-vbnet.png")
// Generate UPC-A barcode & print to System.Drawing.Graphics object in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("Graphics object")
// Create UPC-A 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 UPC-A in VB.NET
barcode.SymbologyType = SymbologyType.UPCA;
// Set UPC-A barcode value in VB.NET
barcode.CodeText = "00123456789"
// Set UPC-A drawing image format to PNG in VB.NET
barcode.Format = ImageFormat.Png
// Generate UPC-A barcode & encode to the png image in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-upca-vbnet.png")
// Generate UPC-A barcode & print to System.Drawing.Graphics object in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("Graphics object")
// Create UPC-A barcode & draw to System.IO.Stream object in VB.NET
barcode.drawBarcode("Stream object")
