Following is a feature list of RasterEdge C#.NET UPC-A barcode creator add-on.

Mature UPC-A barcode generator SDK for C#.NET document and image processing applications

Insert linear UPC-A barcode into images and documents using Visual C# programming language

Created UPC-A barcode can be processed separately on target document or image file using C#.NET

Offer complete parameters for C# developers to create UPC-A barcode with desired property values

C# Code for Customizing UPC-A Barcode Generation

You can easily generator UPC-A barcode and save it  to image files/object using this C#.NET barcode generator control. The following steps will show how to create a UPC-A type barcode encoding numeric data text "01234567890" into the image object with XImage.Barcode.Creator.

Please copy the sample code as follow to generator a UPC-A barcode.

private static Linear CreateBarcode()
        {
            Linear barcode = new Linear();// create a barcode
            barcode.Type = BarcodeType.UPCA;// select barcode type
            barcode.Data = "01234567890";// set barcode data
            barcode.X = 1.0F;// set x
            barcode.Y = 60.0F;// set y
            barcode.Resolution = 96;// set resolution
            barcode.Rotate = Rotate.Rotate0;// set rotation
            barcode.BarcodeWidth = 200;
            barcode.BarcodeHeight = 200;
            barcode.AutoResize = true;

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

            return barcode;
        }

How to Add UPC-A Barcode to Image in C#

In this section, you can find sample C# code, which is used to illustrate how to create and draw UPC-A barcode on source image, picture or photo in .NET class application. Now, our Barcode Generator DLL for C#.NET supports creating UPC-A barcode on BMP, GIF, JPEG, and PNG image files. Remarkably, developers can draw linear UPC-A barcode at any desired place on source image file as this C# UPC-A Barcode Generator DLL provides the application of X & Y location.

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");
        }

How to Create UPC-A on Document Page in C#

This C# UPC-A barcode generator SDK is often used by developers for the purpose of adding linear UPC-A barcode to document files, like PDF, TIFF, MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint. What should be noted here is that, using RasterEdge UPC-A barcode creator SDK, you can create and insert UPC-A barcode at any specified location of any page on target document files accurately by C# programming code.

Entire C# Code for Customizing UPC-A Barcode

As is said above, RasterEdge UPC-A barcode creator add-on for C# owns comprehensive barcode generating functions, which allows C# developers to create a fully-customized UPC-A barcode and insert generated UPC-A barcode into source document image file. In this section, we particularly illustrate C# code demo for developers, which can be used to create UPC-A barcode and customize each property of generated barcode image on sample PNG image file.

// 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.UPCA;// select barcode type
barcode.Data = "01234567890";// set barcode data 

// UPC-A 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.Center;
barcode.Resolution = 72;// set resolution
barcode.Rotate = Rotate.Rotate0;// set rotation
barcode.AddCheckSum = false;
barcode.UOM = RasterEdge.Imaging.Barcode.Creator.UnitOfMeasure.PIXEL;

// UPC-A colors
barcode.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
barcode.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;

// UPC-A font style
barcode.TextFont = new Font("Arial", 9f, FontStyle.Regular);
barcode.TextColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
barcode.TextMargin = 6;
barcode.ShowText = true;

// UPC-A special
// barcode.SupData = "";
// barcode.SupHeight = 0.8f;
// barcode.SupSpace = 15f;

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

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