Entire VB Code for Customizing UPC-A Barcode

As is said above, RasterEdge UPC-A barcode creator add-on for VB owns comprehensive barcode generating functions, which allows VB 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 VB 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
Dim reImage As REImage = New REImage("c:/Sample.png")

'create a barcode
Dim barcode As Linear  = New Linear()
'select barcode type
barcode.Type = BarcodeType.UPCA
'set barcode data 
barcode.Data = "01234567890"

barcode.LeftMargin = 0
barcode.RightMargin = 0
barcode.BarAlignment = AlignmentHori.Center
'set resolution
barcode.Resolution = 72
'set rotation
barcode.Rotate = Rotate.Rotate0
barcode.AddCheckSum = false
barcode.UOM = 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
