Summary

I feel this solution is a good one since relying on a third party's font, component, or control can sometimes be troublesome when you want to debug or to change some features regarding your application. This solution is very easy to test by just printing your webpage and scanning the code to make sure it works. You can trace the code and look at each pattern easily, so debugging is a dream. Changing features with such simple code is straight forward.

Title: upc converted to private product code

I have a question. How can i scan a upc barcode and use that for my 5 digit company item number on a barcode? Ok when we receive items in we make our own labels for these items without using their upc codes that are already on these items. we have a description of the item on file and it is converted to our 5 digit barcode for inventory control.

Hello,

I called the scanner manufacturers an they told me that some parts of the the barcode were not printed. I increased the size of the image to allow for no cutting of letters. It worked perfectly.

This is only possible with Code39 though as I realized from the article you referenced that UPC-A supports digits...(not verified)

I have printed all the characters in any length now using code39 and they all scanned well.

Thanks for the free code once again.

Isidore.
Title: Letters not printing

Place a breakpoint on the line of code:
if _text = 1 then and use F11 to trace through the code for creating the print of the letters to see why it is not printing.

Hello,

Thanks for the code. I recently tested the barcodes with a scanner and the upc worked fine. However, the letters did not print. They generated 0's.

Is there anything that could be done about this. Urgent response will be highly appreciated.

Thanks for your advice. I added a button to the barcode.aspx page to raise the event placed on the page load event handler. This way I was able to confirm that the code is valid. I will figure out how to place the barcodes on pages of production control documents to be used by scanners.

Using a scanner to read these barcodes is the ultimate feature of the system I am building. If you have any help in this regard...I will appreciate it a lot.

Thanks for your prompt response though.
Title: bcode.barcode not found   
Name: Terry Voss

Comment:
you see there is a public class barcode defined in one of the 4 source files, right? So the culprit is the bcode part which is: a namespace default for the vb asp.net project of the name bcode. So you need to name your project bcode, or change the namespace part of the object instance specification: bcode.barcode to myprojectname.barcode.

Hello,

I appreciate your solution...However, I tried running the code on VS 2005 (asp.net 2.0) and here is the error message:
"Could not load type 'bcode.barcode'"

I tried removing bcode but it still did not work. Urgent response will be highy appreciated as I see that most of your fans really like the code and it seems to be working for them.

Works great on VB.NET Windows.Forms... with some changes (http://www.qqczka.prv.pl/testBarCode.zip).
Somebody know another algorithm for EAN-128 ???
Like C-39 in this article:
Case "9" : clet = "1011100010111010"
Case "0" : clet = "1010001110111010"
Case "A" : clet = "1110101000101110"

Thanks for this solution. It's an outstanding alternative to using those components and installing fonts on the server.

Keep it up!
