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.

Barcode API

• Generate & recognize 60+ barcode symbologies with just a few lines of code.
• Read 1D & 2D barcodes at any angle and image quality.
• Wide range of options to manipulate barcode image appearance.
• Generate barcodes with special barcode parameters, like error correction mode, ECI or embedded matadata.
• Barcode generation and recognition from documents, like Swiss QR bills.
• Create device resolution dependent images.
• Export barcode as XML.
• Specify the image areas to scan the barcode.
• Specify reading engine options to obtain best balance between reading quality and speed.

Platform Independence

Aspose.BarCode for .NET can easily be used in any .NET 32-bit or 64-bit application, including, WinForms, WPF, ASP.NET, Mono, Xamarin, UWP and .NET core. In short, you can develop apps using Aspose.BarCode for .NET where the .NET framework is available.

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 Jpeg
generator.Save(dir + "output.jpg", BarCodeImageFormat.Jpeg);

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);
    }
}
