VB Imaging - VB Code 11 Generator

VB Imaging Code 11 Creator Overview

RasterEdge provides flexible and affordable barcode generating solution for integrating Code 11 barcode images into VB.NET project. This VB.NET Imaging Barcode Creator SDK can generate & save Code 11 barcode to gif, png, jpeg, and bmp image files using Visual VB 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. Different from other VB.NET barcode generator SDKs that can only be used to create an independent Code 11 barcode image, this VB.NET Code 11 barcode creator add-on provides mature APIs for VB.NET developers to create standard Code 11 barcode and insert it into defined area of source image or document file. Thus, this VB.NET Code 11 barcode creator add-on is often used in following two main sections.

Detailed features are listed below:

Draw Code 11 barcode image on png, jpeg, bmp, gif or tiff image file by VB.NET code

Write Code 11 barcode image on single-page or multi-page PDF, TIFF or Word document using VB.NET code

Print linear barcode Code 11 in Visual VB 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 VB

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

VB Code for Customizing Code11 Barcode Generation

You can easily generator Code11 barcode and save it  to image files/object using this VB.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.

barcode.BarcodeHeight = 200
barcode.AutoResize = true

'convert barcode to a bitmap and save it to image file
Dim bmp As Bitmap = barcode.ToImage()
bmp.Save("C:\\barcode.bmp")

Create Code 11 on VB Png, Jpeg, Gif, Bmp

RasterEdge allows Visual VB.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 VB sample codes for printing Code 11 barcode on png image, encoding numeric data "0123456789-" with a default resolution of 96 DPI.

Dim image As REImage  = New REImage("C:\\Sample.png")
barcode.DrawBarcode(image, 150F, 150F)
image.Save(ImageType.PNG, "C:\\Sample_Barcode.png")

Create Code 11 on Document Page in VB

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 VB 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.
