.NET Barcode UPC-E Generator for .NET, C#, ASP.NET, VB.NET

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

.NET UPC-E Introduction

UPC-E is also known as Universal Product Code version E, UPC-E Supplement 5/Five-digit Add-On, UPC-E Supplement 2/Two-digit Add-On, UPC-E+5, UPC-E+2, UPC-E0, E0, UPC-E1, E1, GTIN-12 with lead "0", GS1-12, UCC-12

UPC-E is a variation of UPC-A which allows for a more compact barcode by eliminating "extra" zeros.
Since the resulting UPC-E barcode is about half the size as an UPC-A barcode, UPC-E is generally used on products with very small packaging where a full UPC-A barcode couldn't reasonably fit.

How to generate UPC-E barcodes in C#.NET Class?

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

using KeepDynamic.Barcode.Generator;

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

// Set barcode symbology type to UPC-E in C#
barcode.SymbologyType = SymbologyType.UPCE;

// Set UPC-E barcode value in C#
barcode.CodeText = "012345";

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

// Generate UPC-E barcode & encode to the png image in C#
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-upce-csharp.png");

// Generate UPC-E barcode & print to System.Drawing.Graphics object in C#
barcode.drawBarcode("Graphics object");

// Create UPC-E 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:

// 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-E in VB.NET
barcode.SymbologyType = SymbologyType.UPCE;

// Set UPC-E barcode value in VB.NET
barcode.CodeText = "012345"

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

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

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

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