barcode creation? how?

Hi everyone!

Does anyone know what do I need (control or anything else) in order to
provide it with a number (fixed digits) and let it created a barcode for me,
which I could scan later using a scanner and produce that number back?

Thanks in advance!

Depending on what type of barcode you want, for example, this article

http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/barcodectl.asp

supports barcoe 39. If you want to support other types of barcode, you
might have to find a commerical solution to this.

we wanted to integrate this in our software, but we are putting it on
hold for now :)

Here is a good resource if you decide to create your own. If you only need
numbers it is fairly easy.

is there any free control to do it or I should have to pay?

It really is not that hard to create. It is simply a set of lines for each
number from 0 to 9 (ten images) which can be used to barcode any number. You
need to calculate the check digit too.

I'm not aware of any free barcode generation software for .NET...

There are services like this:
http://www.i-fax.com/aspx/aspx_barcode_plugin.html but that probably isn't
what you're looking for...

I created some fonts for codebar and upc. I will be happy to email them to
you. You can then use them to make images. Codabar does not use a check
digit. For UPC then check digit calculation is easy. Here is some VBA code
to calc upc checkdigit.

Function GenerateCheckDi git(strBaseBarC ode As String) As Integer
Dim intLength As Integer
Dim intEvenSum As Integer
Dim intOddSum As Integer
Dim i As Integer
GenerateCheckDi git = -1
On Error GoTo Errorhandler
intEvenSum = 0
intOddSum = 0
intLength = Len(strBaseBarC ode)
For i = 1 To intLength
If i Mod 2 = 0 Then
intEvenSum = intEvenSum + CInt(Mid(strBas eBarCode, i, 1))
Else
intOddSum = intOddSum + CInt(Mid(strBas eBarCode, i, 1))
End If
Next i
GenerateCheckDi git = Right(CStr(1000 - (intEvenSum + intOddSum * 3)), 1)
Exit Function
Errorhandler:
MsgBox "Generate check digit function failed."
GenerateCheckDi git = -1
End Function

Please send me your fonts and any other material (source, sample etc) wou
would like to share with me!
