C# Imaging Code 11 Creator Overview

RasterEdge provides flexible and affordable barcode generating solution for integrating Code 11 barcode images into C#.NET project. This C#.NET Imaging Barcode Creator SDK can generate & save Code 11 barcode to gif, png, jpeg, and bmp image files using Visual C# coding in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and above. In addition, PDF, TIFF, MS Office Word, Excel and PowerPoint files are supported for Code 11 implementation as well.

Detailed features are listed below:

Print linear barcode Code 11 in Visual C# applications

Create and print Code 11 on images, TIFF, PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint with specific location

Easy to draw Code 11 bar code with fixed width and height using C#

Optional for users to either display or hide data text below Code 11 image

Automatically add margins on the left & right sides for scannable Code 11 creating

Flexible sizing dimensions and various parameters for customization

C# Code for Customizing Code11 Barcode Generation

You can easily generator Code11 barcode and save it  to image files/object using this C#.NET barcode generator control. The following steps will show how to create a Code11 type barcode encoding numeric data text "112233445566" into the image object with XImage.Barcode.Creator.

Create Code 11 on C# Png, Jpeg, Gif, Bmp

RasterEdge allows Visual C#.NET developers to created Code 11 on popular image files, including BMP, GIF, JPEG, and PNG. Besides, users can print the Code 11 bar code on the image within any area, by simply defining the x and y coordinates to embed on image. Below is the Visual C# sample codes for printing Code 11 barcode on png image, encoding numeric data "0123456789-" with a default resolution of 96 DPI.

private static void AddBarcodeToImage(Linear barcode)
        {
            REImage image = new REImage(inputDirectory + "Sample.png");
            barcode.DrawBarcode(image, 150F, 150F);
            image.Save(ImageType.PNG, outputDirectory + "Sample_Barcode.png");
        }

Create Code 11 on Document Page in C#

Developers can create Code 11 on certain PDF, TIFF, Word, Excel or PowerPoint document page with RasterEdge powerful .NET barcode generator SDK. All you need to do is simply copy the following C# demo code to your program for a test. You can make necessary modification for the barcode location on image, and adjust the Code 11 bar code dimensions as well.

C# Code on Writing Code 11 on Image & Document

This is the Visual C# sample code to adjust the Code 11 bar code properties listed above. Use it in your .NET application to create Code 11 barcode on BMP, JPEG, PNG, GIF images and PDF, TIFF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint documents.

// create REImage on which you want to draw the barcode
REImage reImage = new REImage("c:/Sample.png");

Linear barcode = new Linear();// create a barcode
barcode.Type = BarcodeType.CODE11;// select barcode type
barcode.Data = "0123456789-";// set barcode data  

// Code 11 barcode size related
barcode.X = 1.0F;// set x
barcode.Y = 60.0F;// set y
barcode.BarcodeHeight = 60;
barcode.BarcodeWidth = 0;
barcode.BottomMargin = 0;
barcode.LeftMargin = 0;
barcode.RightMargin = 0;
barcode.BarAlignment = AlignmentHori.Left;
barcode.Resolution = 96;// set resolution
barcode.Rotate = Rotate.Rotate0;// set rotation
barcode.AddCheckSum = true;
barcode.UOM = RasterEdge.Imaging.Barcode.Creator.UnitOfMeasure.PIXEL;

// Code 11 colors
barcode.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
barcode.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;

// Code 11 font style
barcode.TextFont = new Font("Arial", 9f, FontStyle.Regular);
barcode.TextColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
barcode.TextMargin = 0;
barcode.ShowText = true;

barcode.DrawBarcode(reImage, 0, 0);// draw barcode on REImage with location x and y

reImage.Save(ImageType.PNG, @"c:/barcode.png");
