Generate BarCode Image programmatically

[Bertha]

I want to generate the image of BarCode without showing on the WinForm.  How to assign "Code39Extended" to Symbology?

 RadBarcode rBL = new RadBarcode();
 rBL.Symbology = "Code39Extended";

Thanks.

Hello, Bertha,  

You can find below a sample code snippet demonstrating how to export a RadBarcode as an image without actually showing it on the form:

private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadBarcode radBarcode1 = new RadBarcode();
    Telerik.WinControls.UI.Barcode.Symbology.Code39Extended code39Extended1 = new Telerik.WinControls.UI.Barcode.Symbology.Code39Extended();
    radBarcode1.Symbology = code39Extended1;
    radBarcode1.Value = "123456";
    radBarcode1.LoadElementTree();
    string fileName = @"..\..\exported.png";
    Image img = radBarcode1.ExportToImage();
    img.Save(fileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
    Process.Start(fileName);
}

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hello,

how can we specify the barcode size like this? Using the parameters for `ExportToImage` the image size changes, but not the size of the barcode itself (at least not the width)...

 

Kind regards.

Hello, Stefan,

The ExportToImage method has several overloads which allow you to specify the size of the exported image. Thus, you can control how big the bar code image will be. 

If I understand your question correctly you would like to specify the size of the RadBarcode itself. To achieve this you can use the Width and Height properties:

RadBarcode radBarcode1 = new RadBarcode();
radBarcode1.Width = 50;
radBarcode1.Height = 50;

I hope this helps. Should you have other questions please let me know.

Hello Nadya,

this doesn't seem to work for us properly. I'll create a new thread for this, so that I can attach files/images...

Kind regards.

Hi, Stefan,

I have attached a sample project for your reference. The following image is obtained on my end:

I will have a look at the other ticket as well and we can discuss the scenario further.
