Aspose.BarCode for .NET is a robust and reliable barcode generation and recognition component, written in managed C#, it allows developers to quickly and easily add barcode generation and recognition functionality to their Microsoft .NET applications (WinForms, WPF and .NET Core).
Aspose.BarCode for .NET supports most established barcode standards and barcode specifications. It has the ability to export to multiple image formats including: BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, EMF and SVG.
Aspose.BarCode for .NET doesn't just create or recognize barcodes but it provides a complete framework to control almost everything about barcodes. Developers can customize the barcode's appearance like bar height, colors, margins, borders, row/columns count and interpolation modes, as well as barcode generation properties like symbol mode encodings, error correction modes, ECI modes or special barcode metadata. While scanning for barcodes, developers can specify the area/areas where a barcode can be found. Moreover, scanning engine can be optimized for better barcode reading quality or speed with variety of options, which allows to recognize strongly corrupted barcodes.

Get Started
Are you ready to give Aspose.BarCode for .NET a try? Simply add Aspose.BarCode to your project references as Nuget package. If you have some difficulties with this, our examples help you to manage with this.
Generate a Barcode Label with Code128
Try the following snippet to see how Aspose.BarCode API performs in your environment or check the GitHub Repository for other common usage scenarios.
// instantiate object and set different barcode properties
BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.Code128, "1234567");
generator.Parameters.Barcode.XDimension.Millimeters = 1f;
// save the image to your system and set its image format to Png
generator.Save(dir + "output.png", BarCodeImageFormat.Png);
Hide Barcode Text from the PNG Label via C# Code
Aspose.BarCode for .NET allows you to customize various properties of barcodes, such as borders, color, type, bar height as well as barcode text. The following example shows, how simple it is to hide the barcode text using C#.
string codeText = "This text is hidden.\n" + "This text is hidden.\n";;
// instantiate barcode object and set CodeText, Symbology , and CodeLocation
BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.DataMatrix, codeText);
generator.Parameters.Barcode.CodeTextParameters.Location = CodeLocation.None;
generator.Save(dir + "output.png", BarCodeImageFormat.Png);
Recognize Barcode from File via C# Code
The following example demonstrates how to scan a picture of a barcode image using Aspose.BarCode
// Read file from directory with DecodeType.EAN13
using (BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(dataDir + "Scan.jpg", DecodeType.EAN13))
{
foreach (BarCodeResult result in reader.ReadBarCodes())
{
// Read symbology type and code text
Console.WriteLine("Symbology Type: " + result.CodeType);
Console.WriteLine("CodeText: " + result.CodeText);
}
}
