Barcode Library for .NET

Aspose.BarCode for .NET doesn't just create or recognize barcodes but it provides a complete framework to control almost everything about barcodes. Developers can customize the barcode's appearance like bar height, colors, margins, borders, row/columns count and interpolation modes, as well as barcode generation properties like symbol mode encodings, error correction modes, ECI modes or special barcode metadata. While scanning for barcodes, developers can specify the area/areas where a barcode can be found. Moreover, scanning engine can be optimized for better barcode reading quality or speed with variety of options, which allows to recognize strongly corrupted barcodes.

Demo applications

  • Encoding DataMatrix barcodes through X12, EDIFACT, and Base 256
  • Embedding barcodes to Word and PDF formats via Aspose.Words and Aspose.PDF

Barcode Imaging Features

  • Customizing barcode image borders, border color, style, margins, and width

  • Rotating barcode images to any degree
  • Setting the required quality and resolution setting for barcode images to be generated
  • Anti-aliasing for barcode images
  • Selecting size units (inches or millimeters)
  • Auto-sizing of barcode images
  • Rendering barcode images on any device

Supported Symbologies for Barcode Generation & Recognition

Linear barcode types, or 1D barcodes, correspond to the first generation of one-dimensional barcodes (1D) that are used to represent information by varying the widths and spacings of parallel lines. Some 1D symbologies allow encoding only numbers, while others permit encoding also letters.

DataBar barcodes (former RSS-14) are 1D and 1D staked barcodes, which were developed to efficiently encode GS1 Application Identifier data.

Matrix barcodes, also known as 2D barcodes, have been introduced as a two-dimensional way to encode information. Two-dimensional (2D) barcodes are generated using various symbols and shapes. This barcode type is considered to be more efficient, as such barcodes contain more data per unit area, and most of them are self-correctable.

Postal barcodes are specific symbologies used by postal services in different countries.

HIBC barcodes encode data in special format which is used in Health Industry. As transport, the barcodes use other 1D and 2D barcodes and encode data as Alpha-Numeric.

GS1 barcodes use other 1D and 2D barcodes to encode GS1 Application Identifier data.

Get Started

Are you ready to give Aspose.BarCode for .NET a try? Simply add Aspose.BarCode to your project references as Nuget package. If you have some difficulties with this, our examples help you to manage with this.

Generate a Barcode Label with Code128

Try the following snippet to see how Aspose.BarCode API performs in your environment or check the GitHub Repository for other common usage scenarios.

// instantiate object and set different barcode properties
BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.Code128, "1234567");
generator.Parameters.Barcode.XDimension.Millimeters = 1f;

// save the image to your system and set its image format to Png
generator.Save(dir + "output.png", BarCodeImageFormat.Png);

Hide Barcode Text from the PNG Label via C# Code

Aspose.BarCode for .NET allows you to customize various properties of barcodes, such as borders, color, type, bar height as well as barcode text. The following example shows, how simple it is to hide the barcode text using C#.

string codeText = "This text is hidden.\n" + "This text is hidden.\n";;

// instantiate barcode object and set CodeText, Symbology , and  CodeLocation
BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.DataMatrix, codeText);
generator.Parameters.Barcode.CodeTextParameters.Location = CodeLocation.None;
generator.Save(dir + "output.png", BarCodeImageFormat.Png);

Recognize Barcode from File via C# Code

The following example demonstrates how to scan a picture of a barcode image using Aspose.BarCode

// Read file from directory with DecodeType.EAN13
using (BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(dataDir + "Scan.jpg", DecodeType.EAN13))
{
    foreach (BarCodeResult result in reader.ReadBarCodes())
    {
        // Read symbology type and code text
        Console.WriteLine("Symbology Type: " + result.CodeType);
        Console.WriteLine("CodeText: " + result.CodeText);
    }
}
