C# Imaging - C# Code 93 Generator Tutorial

C# Imaging Code 93 Add-on Overview

Code 93 is a linear barcode symbology with a higher density and data security compared with Code 39. It encodes alphanumeric data (upper case letters and numeric digits) with a variable length.

RasterEdge .NET Image Barcode Add-on supports integrating Code 93 barcode image into .NET Class Library, ASP.NET web application and WinForms program using Visual C# code. This control library is designed for Microsoft Visual .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 or later versions, and can be integrated with Visual Studio 2005 or above. Download the trial package for a test now to write and draw the best Code 93 barcode pictures in png, jpeg, gif, bmp, TIFF, PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

Detailed features are listed below:

Create Code 93 1D bar codes on images & documents in specific area

Auto Resize function to create Code 93 with a fixed barcode width and height

Freely rotate created Code 93 image in 90, 180, & 270degrees

Automatically calculate and add Code 93 check digit character (checksum)

Adjust image resolution for high-quality screen display or printer output

C# Code for Customizing Code 93 Barcode Generation

You can easily generator Code93 barcode and save it  to image files/object using this C#.NET barcode generator control. The following steps will show how to create a Code93 type barcode encoding numeric data text "CODE93DATA" into the image object with XImage.Barcode.Creator.

            Linear barcode = new Linear();// create a barcode
            barcode.Type = BarcodeType.CODE93;// select barcode type

            //convert barcode to a bitmap and save it to image file
            //Bitmap bmp = barcode.ToImage();
            //bmp.Save(@"C:\barcode.bmp");

            return barcode;

Draw Code 93 Barcode on C# Image

RasterEdge enables C# developers to create Code 93 on popular image files, including BMP, GIF, JPEG and PNG formats. Demonstrated is an example to create a single Code 93 bar code image on a local png file using C# programming. Users can freely adjust the coordinates to change barcode location on the image, and also create batch Code 93 as well. For more barcode sizing details, please navigate to the property table below.

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");
        }
