BarCode in Reporting Services

Question

Hi,

There is  only third party barcode available.Why there is no Barcode control available in SqlServer reporting services where this control is available even in smaller reporting services like Telerik? As barcode is very essential for reports,we are expecting in each upcoming version of sqlserver reporting services..Wil this be available in atleast next version?

Regards

Even though you don't have one from Microsoft, you can leverage a barcode font (there lots of them out there like: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sqlreportingservices/thread/ff1fe129-d974-4955-a89d-9f57a8f62e17, http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlreportingservices/thread/d372cdb1-e86d-40b0-9c03-1dc9ed994498), or buy a custom report item and integrate it into SSRS:

this is a dedicated SSRS barcode generation sdk, which is able to create Code128, code39, EAN, UPC, QR Code, Data Matrix, and pdf417, etc in Microsoft SQL Reporting Service.
