barcode.BarcodeWidth = 200
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 RM4SCC Barcode on Image using VB

This VB.NET barcode generating control enables developers to write and print a RM4SCC bar code on a png, gif, jpeg or bmp image file. To get it started, you can simply open your MS Visual Studio and create a new VB.NET imaging project, such as a Windows application, and then add the RasterEdge.Imaging.Barcode.Creator.dll to your project reference. Now you can copy the VB sample codes to your program to draw a RM4SCC barcode on a sample png image!

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

Draw RM4SCC Barcode on Document with VB

This barcode generator add-on component for VB.NET can also help users draw a RM4SCC on a commonly used document, like PDF, (multi-page) TIFF, Microsoft Office Word, Excel and PPT. You can decide which page you want to put the barcode on, and which area you want to paint it. In addition, you can have full control over RM4SCC barcode settings, like size, color, rotation, resolution, UOM, and so on. Please refer to the parameter section for more details.
