Creating barcodes on the fly with C#

There's one thing that everyone agrees on about Bart De Smet: he is not the regular nine-to-five developer. During his daily-blogging-mission in September, he wrote a few posts on how to create barcodes on the fly in C# (without requiring 3rd party software):

• Code 39 barcodes in C#
• EAN-13 barcodes in C#
• ISBN to EAN-13
• An ASP.NET .ASHX HTTP handler for Code 39 barcode generation

Please join me in congratulating Bart for the 4th consecutive year he's been awarded as a Visual Developer MVP. All of this, and a lot more, made us decide to make Bart our Belgian "MVP in the spotlight" at MSDN Belgium & Luxembourg during October.

  Saji, Code39 is a pretty simple barcode. There are more complex systems available and used for different situations.

  Windows Forms Controls http://www.idautomation.com/formscontrols/ offer a good alternative for more complex barcode types, such as Code 128, DataBar and 2D barcodes.
