MVC Web Application BarCode Image Genarater

This is a simple library that lets you do one thing very easily: generate an Image for a Code128 BARCODE with a single line of code.

Code128, on the other hand, has out-of-the-box support for all 128 low-order ASCII characters.  

Basic usage 

 

Create MVC web application. Below code add to the View which it will take input string and one button to generate BarCode Image.

 

 

 

 Now Add the below code in controller (HTTPPOST). Here get the entered text and send that text to

 

 Code128Rendering.MakeBarcodeImage(Bacodetext.Trim(), int.Parse(txtWeight), true) 

 

Method which it will take the input as

There are three parameters:

• string InputData: The message to be encoded
• int BarWeight: The baseline width of the bars in the output. Usually, 1 or 2 is good.
• bool AddQuietZone: If false, omits the required white space at the start and end of the barcode. If your layout doesn't already provide good margins around the Image, you should use true

You can save the images in folder location different type (.bmp/ .png / .jpeg)

[HttpPost]
      public ActionResult Index(string btnSubmit, FormCollection formcoll)
      {
          try
          {
              if (!ReferenceEquals(formcoll["btnGenarate"], null))
              {
                  string Bacodetext = formcoll["txtInput"].ToString();
                  string txtWeight = "2";
                  const int MaxLength = 10;
                  // Genarate barcode
                  Image myimg = Code128Rendering.MakeBarcodeImage(Bacodetext.Trim(), int.Parse(txtWeight), true);
                  var imgName = Bacodetext;
                  if (imgName.Length > MaxLength)
                  {
                      imgName = imgName.Substring(0, MaxLength);  // Image name trim
                  }
                  // save image in folder location different type (.bmp/ .png / .jpeg)
                  string ImageFolder = Server.MapPath("~/Images");
                  myimg.Save(ImageFolder + "/" + imgName.Trim() + ".bmp");

                  //image to displa in view
                  var virtualPath = string.Format("~/Images/{0}.bmp", imgName.Trim());
                  ViewBag.Path = virtualPath;
              }
          }
          catch (Exception ex)
          {
          }
          return View();
      }

  }

Note: Add library files Code128Content.cs & Code128Rendering.cs in Utility folder. (That's the GenCode128 namespace, in a static class called Code128Rendering)

 Hopefully, this helps you to generate barcode using web application.
