How to display Barcode in crystal reports.

Question

I have to generate a barcode for a set of characters and I need to display it in crystal report.

How to do this?

 

Answer 1

I did this years ago by purchasing a Code39 barcode font then using that to generate the barcode in the report.

Answer 2

Once you have a barcode font, all you need to do is set the font of the object in the report to be that font.

Murali,

I just read a similar thread on another forum. The person responding there suggested a number of third party resources for barcoding. I've listed the links below (please note, I have not used any of these and I can't recomend anything one way or another).

Answer 5

The ASP.NET server control will easily add barcodes to ASP.NET web applications including solutions created with Visual Basic.NET, C# and Borland Delphi for .NET. The barcodes will dynamically appear in the web browser as high quality GIF, JPG or PNG images. This web component supports several linear and 2D barcode types including Code 128, UPC, EAN, GS1-128, ITF, Intelligent Mail, Code 39, Aztec, PDF417, Maxicode and DataMatrix.

Answer 6

There is a Crystal Reports Native Generator that creates barcodes in Crystal Reports without the installation of additional fonts or other components. Supported symbologies include Code 39, Code 128, UCC/EAN-128, MSI, Interleaved 2 of 5, PostNet, PDF417 and Data Matrix. It is a complete barcode generator object that stays embedded in the report.
