Capabilities

All of the most common symbologies (see a full list) are included: everything from the 2D QR Code that works great with mobile devices, to retail product codes like EAN-13 and UPC-A, to classic linear bar codes such as Code 39.

Many symbologies have checksums and/or encoded values that are automatically calculated for you and inserted into the bar code, making the use of this product as simple as selecting a symbology and setting the value to code.

Validation routines are included to ensure each value entered for a particular symbology conforms to specifications.

Vector-Drawn

The bar codes are rendered using vectors meaning that they are always drawn precisely. You can use transforms to scale them to any size, or rotate them, and they will still appear crisp.

This is most beneficial when using high-DPI printers for printing out things like XPS documents that contain bar codes in them since the bar codes will be crystal clear.

Use Anywhere

Since the BarCode control is a WPF control, it can easily be used in any WPF context. Common usage examples are in a WPF application UI, FixedDocument, FlowDocument, or added to an XPS document. You can even render any bar code directly to a WPF DrawingContext.

Need to export your bar codes to images? No problem! You can easily export any bar code to any image format supported by WPF.

Customizable

Actipro Bar Code is packed with features for completely customizing the display of vector-based bar codes.

Options such as borders, quiet zone thickness, controlling if and how the value displays, having the displayed value intrude into the bar lines, showing a caption above the bar code, setting bar height or cell size, etc. are all available settings.
