• Set the Type property to BarcodeType.CODE128, BarcodeType.CODE128A, or BarcodeType.CODE128B, or BarcodeType.CODE128C.
  • default (auto):Barcode Library will automatically switch between code sets to encode the ASCII values.
  • A: Library will use the Char Set A which only supports ASCII values from 0 to 95
  • B: Library will use the Char Set B which only supports ASCII values from 32 to 127
  • C: Library will use the Char Set C which only supports pairs of digits
• Set the Data property with the value to encode. Type is string.
• Setting up barcode image size:
  • Set property UOM (Unit of Measure) for properties BarWidth, BarHeight, LeftMargin and TopMargin.
    Default is UnitOfMeasure.Pixel (0). Valid values are UnitOfMeasure.Pixel (0), UnitOfMeasure.CM (1), UnitOfMeasure.Inch (2).
  • Set the BarWidth (for bar cell width) and BarHeight (for bar cell height) properties. Both types are float.
  • Set the LeftMargin and TopMargin properties, and types are both float.
  • Set the Resolution property (Value is expressed in DPI - Dots per inch). This property is not working in Windows Controller, we will use end user's windows resultion.
• Setting up text style in barcode image:
  • Set the ShowText properties. If this value is true, barcode data will be displayed with the barcode.
  • Set the TextFont property. The font used to display text in barcode image.
• Set the Format property for barcode image type. Value can be "gif", "jpg", "png", and "bmp", default is "png".
• Set BearerBars property, if you want to draw borders around barcode image. Value can be BearerBar.None (no bear bars), BearerBar.Frame (top, bottom, left, right borders drawn), BearerBar.TopBottom (only top, bottom's are drawn).
• Set Rotate property, if you want to rotate barcode image.
  Value can be
  0 (RotateOrientation.BottomFacingDown),
  1 (RotateOrientation.BottomFacingLeft),
  2 (RotateOrientation.BottomFacingUp),
  3 (RotateOrientation.BottomFacingRight)
• AddCheckSum property is not applied here. Barcode Library will always add a check character between encoded data and stop character (modulo 103).
