.NET library to generate common 1D barcodes

NBarCodes

NBarCodes is a .NET library to generate common one-dimensional barcodes. Supported barcode types include Code 128, Code 39, Standard 2 of 5, Interleaved 2 of 5, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E and Postnet.

Quick intro

using NBarCodes;

...

var settings = new BarCodeSettings {
  Type = BarCodeType.Code128,
  Data = "NBarCodes"
};

var generator = new BarCodeGenerator(settings);

using (var barcodeImage = generator.GenerateImage()) {

  // use the generated barcodeImage

}

The BarCodeSettings object holds the barcode information. This class has many properties that affect the rendering of the barcode, like the barcode type, the data to render, bar measures, text position and colors. Required properties are simply Type, for the barcode type, and Data, for the data to render. The BarCodeGenerator class is used to generate the right barcode from the provided barcode settings.

A BarCodeFormatException can be thrown if the settings provided have errors for the target barcode. The settings can be checked before calling GenerateImage with the method TestRender on the BarCodeGenerator class.
