BarCode for WinForms Overview

The new barcode engine provides a stand-alone control, C1BarCode, that implements
more standard barcode types than the old version. The new C1.Win.Barcode assembly replaces
C1BarCode and C1QRCode controls with a single C1BarCode control that uses a different
codebase.
In case if you are not ready to upgrade, the old C1.Win.C1Barcode assembly remains included
into our toolset. You can check the documentation for the old barcode here.
Unlike barcode fonts, BarCode for WinForms automatically adds any necessary control
symbols and checksums to the value being encoded, depending on the encoding being used,
to eliminate reader errors. You can use several standard barcodes for adding barcode images to
grid cells, to Web pages, or to regular .NET PrintDocument objects. You can also deploy
BarCode for WinForms with your applications like any regular assembly. Because it is a royaltyfree DLL, you do not have to worry about installing barcode fonts on the client-side and making
sure they are royalty free. And BarCode for WinForms is so easy to use just add the control
to your form, set the encoding type, and you are done!
Key Features
Supports 38 BarCode Symbologies

The C1BarCode control supports 38 standard barcodes for Windows Forms
applications. It also offers several properties that can be set for rendering as well as
customizing barcodes. The FNC1 characters are also supported in some barcodes.
See Using BarCode for WinForms for more information.
Integrated QRCode Format

The QR code (Quick Response code) format is one of the most popular 2D barcode
formats available today, with free readers available for virtually all smart phones. The
C1BarCode control provides the functionality of QR code, so you don't need to add
any additional control.
Automatically Adds Checksums

The C1BarCode control automatically adds necessary control symbols and checksums
to the value being encoded, depending on the symbology being used, to guarantee a
good read on your barcodes.
Royalty-free DLL for Easy Deployment
The C1BarCode is a royalty-free DLL that can be deployed with your applications like
any regular assembly.
BarCode for WinForms Quick Start

This quick start section walks through the steps of adding C1BarCode to your project and
creating a simple barcode application. The quick start demonstrates how various symbologies
available in C1BarCode are rendered on changing the text and the barcode type. For more
information about available symbology, see BarCode Symbology.

Step 1: Setting Up the Project
Step 2: Adding Code to the Project
Step 3: Running the Project
Step 1: Setting Up the Project

To set up the project and add the C1BarCode control to the form, complete the following steps:
1.
2.
Create a new .NET project.

From the Toolbox, add the following controls:
o C1BarCode
o ComboBox (to contain the list of barcodes available in C1BarCode control)
o TextBox (to enter the text for observing barcodes)
o Label (add three labels for displaying name of the above controls)
You will notice that on adding C1BarCode control, C1.Win.BarCode and C1.Win
assemblies get added to the References folder in the project. If you do not see
C1BarCode control in your Toolbox, do the following:
5.
In Toolbox, right-click a tab and select Choose Items option to open
the Choose Toolbox Items wizard.
6. Click Browse. Navigate through the default installation path: C:\Program Files
(x86)\ComponentOne\WinForms Edition\bin\v4.0, select C1.Win.BarCode.4 dll,
and then click OK.
Click the ComboBox and in the Properties window, rename it as cbCodeType.
Set the Text property of the three Label controls as Code Type, Text, and BarCode,
respectively. Place the controls on the form as shown.
You have just completed the first step toward creating a simple application on BarCode for
WinForms.
Step 2: Adding Code to the Project

To add code to your project, complete the following steps:
1.
2.
Add namespace Imports C1.BarCode (Visual Basic projects) or using C1.BarCode (C#
projects).
Double-click Form1 to create Form1_Load event and switch to the code view. To set
the default text of the TextBox and to populate the ComboBox control with the code
types available in C1BarCode, add the following code.
Visual Basic
Copy Code
Dim types As Array = [Enum].GetValues(GetType(CodeType))

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
tbText.Text = "HELLO WORLD!"
cbCodeType.DataSource = types
cbCodeType.SelectedIndex = Array.IndexOf(types, CodeType.Code39)
cbCodeType.Select()
End Sub
C#
Copy Code
Array types = Enum.GetValues(typeof(CodeType));
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{
tbText.Text = "HELLO WORLD!";
cbCodeType.DataSource = types;
cbCodeType.SelectedIndex = Array.IndexOf(types, CodeType.Code39);
cbCodeType.Select();
}
3.
Click ComboBox on the form. From the events in the Property window, double-click
SelectedIndexChanged to create cbCodeType_SelectedIndexChanged event and add
following code.
Visual Basic
Copy Code
Private Sub cbCodeType_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)

Handles cbCodeType.SelectedIndexChanged
C1BarCode1.CodeType = DirectCast(cbCodeType.SelectedValue, CodeType)
End Sub
C#
Copy Code
private void cbCodeType_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

{
c1BarCode1.CodeType = (CodeType)cbCodeType.SelectedValue;
}
4.
Click the TextBox control on the form. From the events in the Property window,
double-click TextChanged to create the tbText_TextChanged event and add following
code to the event.
Visual Basic
Copy Code
Private Sub tbText_TextChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles

tbText.TextChanged
C1BarCode1.Text = tbText.Text
End Sub
C#
Copy Code
private void tbText_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
c1BarCode1.Text = tbText.Text;
}
In this step, you added functionality to the controls. In the next step, you will run the project
and observe runtime interactions.
Step 3: Running the Project

Now that you set up the project and added code, let's run the project to view code
types supported by BarCode for WinForms.
Complete the following steps:
1.
Run the project and select code type from the ComboBox.
2.
Select different code types and notice the corresponding barcodes displayed.
3.
Try entering different text strings of alpha numeric characters. If a text is not supported
by the barcode, an error message is displayed as in image below.
Congratulation! You have completed the quick start in which you created a simple
application for viewing different barcodes supported in BarCode for WinForms.
Note that some encodings have a minimum character requirement, while others work
only with numeric values. For more information about supported barcode symbologies,
see BarCode Symbology.
Using BarCode for WinForms

The new barcode engine lets you integrate various industry-standard barcodes into the
Windows Forms applications. For understanding the working of barcodes, it is important to
have knowledge of the barcode symbologies and the properties or options associated with
them.

BarCode Options
BarCode Symbology
The barcode symbology specifies the encoding scheme used to convert character data into the
pattern of wide and narrow bars, and spaces in a barcode. The following table illustrates the
barcode symbology provided by CodeType property in BarCode for WinForms.
Code Type
Ansi39
Example
Description
ANSI 3 of 9 (Code 39) uses
upper case, numbers, - , *
$ / + %. This is the default
barcode style.
Ansi39x
ANSI Extended 3 of 9
(Extended Code 39) uses
the complete ASCII
character set.
Codabar
Codabar uses A B C D + : . / $ and numbers.
Code_128_A
Code 128 A uses control

characters, numbers,
punctuation, and upper
case.
Code_128_B
Code 128 B uses

punctuation, numbers,
upper case and lower case.
Code_128_C
Code 128 C uses only

numbers.
Code_128auto
Code 128 Auto uses the

complete ASCII character
set. Automatically selects
between Code 128 A, B,
and C to give the smallest
barcode.
Code_2_of_5
Code 2 of 5 uses only

numbers.
Code93
Code 93 uses uppercase, %

$ * / , + -, and numbers.
Code25intlv
Interleaved 2 of 5 uses
only numbers.
Code39
Code 39 uses numbers, % *

$ /. , - +, and upper case.
Code39x
Extended Code 39 uses the

set.
Code49
Code 49 is a 2D highdensity stacked barcode

containing two to eight
rows of eight characters
each. Each row has a start
code and a stop code.

Encodes the complete
ASCII character set.
Code93x
Extended Code 93 uses the

set.
DataMatrix
Data Matrix is a high

density, two-dimensional
barcode with square
modules arranged in a
square or rectangular
matrix pattern.
EAN_13
EAN-13 uses only numbers

(12 numbers and a check
digit). It takes only 12
numbers as a string to
calculate a check digit
(CheckSum) and add it to
the thirteenth position. The
check digit is an additional
digit used to verify that a
bar code has been scanned
correctly. The check digit is
added automatically when
the CheckSum property is
set to True.
EAN_8
EAN-8 uses only numbers

digit).
EAN128FNC1
EAN-128 is an
alphanumeric onedimensional representation
of Application Identifier
(AI) data for marking
containers in the shipping
industry.
This type of bar code
contains the following
sections:
Leading quiet zone

(blank area)
Code 128 start

character
FNC (function) 1
character which
allows scanners to
identify this as an
EAN-128 barcode
Data (AI plus data

field)
Symbol check
character (Start
code value plus
product of each
character position
plus value of each
character divided
by 103. The
checksum is the
remainder value.)
Stop character
Trailing quiet zone

(blank area)
The AI in the Data section

sets the type of the data to
follow (i.e. ID, dates,
quantity, measurements,
etc.). There is a specific

data structure for each
type of data. This AI is
what distinguishes the
EAN-128 code from Code
128.
Multiple AIs (along with
their data) can be
combined into a single bar
code.
EAN128FNC1 is a
UCC/EAN-128 (EAN128)
type barcode that allows
you to insert FNC1
character at any place and
adjust the bar size, etc.,
which is not available in
UCC/EAN-128.
To insert FNC1 character,
set \n for C#, or vbLf
for VB to Text property at
runtime.

BarCode Options
The C1BarCode provides several options that are common to all barcodes or specific to certain
barcodes. These options are used to customize the appearance of C1BarCode.
The common options exposed by C1.Win.BarCode assembly for rendering barcodes in
WinForms are as follows:
BarDirection: Lets you select the barcode's direction. The available options are:
o LeftToRight: The barcode symbol is printed left to right (default).
o RightToLeft: The barcode symbol is printed right to left.
o TopToBottom: The barcode symbol is printed top to bottom.
o BottomToTop: The barcode symbol is printed bottom to top.
BarHeight: Lets you specify the height of a barcode in screen pixels. If the bar height
exceeds the height of the control, this property is ignored.
CodeType: Lets you select encoding that should be applied to the value stored in the
Text property to generate the barcode image.
CaptionAlignment: Lets you select the display position of the value of barcode. The
available options are Left, Right, and Center.
CaptionGrouping: Lets you specify a value indicating whether to add spaces between
groups of characters in the caption to make long numbers easier to read.
CaptionPosition: Lets you select the caption's vertical position relative to the barcode
symbol. The available options are None, Above, and Below.
Image: Gets an image of the barcode that represents the value in the Text property,
obtained using the encoding specified by the CodeType property.
ModuleSize: Lets you specify the module (narrowest bar width) of a barcode in screen
pixels. The width of wide bars is counted automatically depending on the barcode type.
QuietZone: Lets you specify the quiet zone(s) in a barcode. A quiet zone is an area of
blank space on either side of a barcode that tells the scanner where the symbology
starts and stops. The options available are as follows:
o Left: Enter the size of blank space to leave to the left of the barcode.
o Right: Enter the size of blank space to leave to the right of the barcode.
o Top: Enter the size of blank space to leave at the top of the barcode.
o Bottom: Enter the size of blank space to leave at the bottom of the barcode.
The following image shows Left and Right quiet zones:
Text: Lets you specify the value that is encoded as a barcode image.
WholeSize: Lets you specify the size of the overall barcode. WholeWidth represents the
width and WholeHeight represents the height of the overall barcode.
FixLength: Lets you specify the fixed number of digits of values of the barcode. It takes
the integer value.

takes the value True or False.
When AutoSize is set to True,
o the barcode automatically stretches to fit the control.
o the readable size is calculated by the barcode itself.
o the size of Matrix barcodes is calculated by OnCalculateSize method.
o the size of the non-matrix bardodes, it is calculated by BarHeight and
ModuleSize.
When AutoSize is set to False,
o
o
o
the size size of the barcode is determined by Width or Height properties.

the control gets clipped if the BarHeight is larger than control's height
some empty space between the barcode and the control is left if the BarHeight
is smaller than height,
The options that are specific to the type of barcodes are as follows:
CheckSumEnabled: Lets you specify whether the check digits are automatically added or not.
When data to be bound already includes check digits, programmers sometimes want to prevent

Customizing the C1BarCode Control

The Property window provides many design time options to customize the overall appearance
of the C1BarCode control. These options depend on the type of barcode used in an application.
You can also perform run time customization on C1BarCode control using the PropertyGrid
control. See the following steps to customize the C1BarCode control during run time. This
code uses the sample created in the BarCode for WinForms Quick Start section.
1.
2.
Add PropertyGrid control to the form.

Add following code to the Form_Load event.
Visual Basic
Copy Code
PropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = C1BarCode1
C#
Copy Code
propertyGrid1.SelectedObject = c1BarCode1;
3.
4.
The above code sets the PropertyGrid to display the options available in the
C1BarCode.
Run the project. The following images shows the CodeType set to the QRCode and the
Text set to a URL.

EncodingException Property
Example
C1.Win.C1BarCode.4 Assembly > C1.Win.C1BarCode Namespace > C1BarCode Class : EncodingException
Property
Gets the System.Exception that prevented the Text from being encoded.
Syntax
Public ReadOnly Property EncodingException As System.Exception
C#
public System.Exception EncodingException {get;}
Remarks
Most encodings have limitations that determine what type of text it can represent. For example,
some are numeric-only and some require text of a specific length.
If the value of the Text property cannot be represented using the current CodeType, then no bar
code will be generated and the control will remain blank.
In this case, the EncodingException property returns details about the exception that
prevented the bar code from being generated.
Example
The code below sets the Text property and shows a message in case any errors were detected:
C#
c1BarCode1.Text = textBox1.Text;
label1.Text = c1BarCode1.EncodingException == null
? string.Empty
: c1BarCode1.EncodingException.Message;

C#
public override System.Drawing.Color ForeColor {get; set;}
Remarks
The foreground color applies to the control and also to the barcode image that is available

Image Property
C1.Win.C1BarCode.4 Assembly > C1.Win.C1BarCode Namespace > C1BarCode Class : Image Property
Syntax
Public ReadOnly Property Image As System.Drawing.Image
C#
public System.Drawing.Image Image {get;}
Remarks
The Image property returns a System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile that can be inserted in
reports and other documents. If the value stored in the Text property is invalid for the current
encoding, the image returned is blank.
Although the barcode image returned by the control is scalable, the default size is optimal for
common barcode readers. Keep in mind that if you stretch the image and make it very large or
very small, it may become unreadable to some readers.
The metafile image has a transparent background and therefore cannot be easily converted to a
solid-background bitmap. To obtain a System.Drawing.Bitmap image of the barcode, use the
GetImage(ImageFormat) method instead.

ShowText Property
C1.Win.C1BarCode.4 Assembly > C1.Win.C1BarCode Namespace > C1BarCode Class : ShowText Property

image.
Syntax

Public Property ShowText As System.Boolean
C#
public System.bool ShowText {get; set;}
Remarks
By default, the control will show only the barcode image. To include a textual representation of
the value in the Text property, set the ShowText property to True and set the Font property to
the Font to be used for the textual display.

SizeMode Property
C1.Win.C1BarCode.4 Assembly > C1.Win.C1BarCode Namespace > C1BarCode Class : SizeMode Property
Gets or sets how the barcode image is displayed within the control.
Syntax
Public Property SizeMode As System.Windows.Forms.PictureBoxSizeMode
C#
public System.Windows.Forms.PictureBoxSizeMode SizeMode {get; set;}
Remarks
This property only affects how the barcode is displayed within the control. It has no effect on
the actual barcode image, as returned by the Image property.
In most applications, you will either center or left-align the barcode image within the control.
Although stretching the image is possible, it may make it unreadable for some barcode readers.

C#
public override System.string Text {get; set;}
Remarks
Some encodings support alpha-numeric values of any length. Others are limited to numeric
values or to a specific set of characters. See the CodeTypeEnum enumeration for details.
If you use characters that are invalid for the current encoding, the control will display a blank
image.

Remarks
To use the C1QRCode control, simply set the Text property to the value you want to encode.
The control will show the QR image. If you want to include the QR image in a document, use
the Image property to retrieve an image of the barcode.
The QR (Quick Response) format is one of the most popular 2D barcode formats today, with
free readers available for virtually all smart phones.
The main reasons for the popularity of the QR format are its efficiency (it is very compact),
flexibility (you don't need special scanners to read it), and the fact that the original developer of
the format (the DENSO-WAVE company) made it an open and freely available standard
(ISO/IEC18004 and others).
For details on the QR format, please see: http://www.denso-wave.com/qrcode/qrstandarde.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code.

CodeVersion Property
C1.Win.C1BarCode.4 Assembly > C1.Win.C1BarCode Namespace > C1QRCode Class : CodeVersion
Property
Syntax
Public Property CodeVersion As System.Integer
C#
public System.int CodeVersion {get; set;}
Remarks
The QR specification includes 40 "versions" of QR codes. Higher versions consume more space
and are able to encode more information.
The C1QRCode control can generate QR codes versions one through ten only, which allow
encoding up to 652 digits, or 395 alphanumeric characters, or 271 bytes.
Set the CodeVersion property to zero (the default value) to automatically use the most compact
version able to render the content specified in the Text property.

Encoding Property
C1.Win.C1BarCode.4 Assembly > C1.Win.C1BarCode Namespace > C1QRCode Class : Encoding Property
Gets or sets the Encoding used to translate the content in the Text property into binary values
to be encoded in the QR code.
Syntax
Public Property Encoding As Encoding
C#
public Encoding Encoding {get; set;}
Remarks
More flexible encodings have lower capacity. The C1QRCode control can encode up to 652
digits, or 395 alphanumeric characters, or 271 bytes.
The default value for this property is Encoding.Automatic, which causes the control to
automatically select the most compact encoding that can be used based on the content
specified in the Text property.

EncodingException Property
Example
C1.Win.C1BarCode.4 Assembly > C1.Win.C1BarCode Namespace > C1QRCode Class : EncodingException
Property
Gets the System.Exception that prevented the Text from being encoded.
Syntax
Public ReadOnly Property EncodingException As System.Exception
C#
public System.Exception EncodingException {get;}
Remarks
The C1QRCode control can be used to encode up to 652 digits, or 395 alphanumeric characters
(uppercase only), or 271 bytes.
If these limits are exceeded, or if any of the control properties is set to values that prevent the
content of the Text property from being encoded, the control remains blank, and the
EncodingException property contains details that explain why the code could not be generated.
Example
The code below sets the Text property and shows a message in case any errors are detected:
C#
c1QRCode1.Text = textBox1.Text;
label1.Text = c1QRCode1.EncodingException == null
? string.Empty
: c1QRCode1.EncodingException.Message;

ErrorCorrectionLevel Property
C1.Win.C1BarCode.4 Assembly > C1.Win.C1BarCode Namespace > C1QRCode Class : ErrorCorrectionLevel
Property
Gets or sets the error correction level used to create the QR code.
Syntax
Public Property ErrorCorrectionLevel As ErrorCorrectionLevel
C#
public ErrorCorrectionLevel ErrorCorrectionLevel {get; set;}
Remarks
Higher levels of error correction add more redundant information to the QR code, making it
more resistant to damage. Higher levels of error correction also reduce the amount of data that
can be encoded in a given area.
The default value for this property is the lowest level, which produces the most compact QR
codes.

ForeColor Property
C1.Win.C1BarCode.4 Assembly > C1.Win.C1BarCode Namespace > C1QRCode Class : ForeColor Property
Gets or sets the foreground color for the control.
Syntax
Public Overrides Property ForeColor As System.Drawing.Color
C#
public override System.Drawing.Color ForeColor {get; set;}
Remarks
The foreground color applies to the control and also to the barcode image that is available
through the Image property.

Image Property
C1.Win.C1BarCode.4 Assembly > C1.Win.C1BarCode Namespace > C1QRCode Class : Image Property
Gets an image of the barcode that represents the value in the Text property.
Syntax
Public ReadOnly Property Image As System.Drawing.Image
C#
public System.Drawing.Image Image {get;}
Remarks
The Image property returns a System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile that can be inserted in
reports and other documents. If the value stored in the Text property is invalid for the current
encoding, the image returned is blank.
Although the barcode image returned by the control is scalable, the default size is optimal for
common barcode readers. Keep in mind that if you stretch the image and make it very large or
very small, it may become unreadable to some readers.
The metafile image has a transparent background and therefore cannot be easily converted to a
solid-background bitmap. To obtain a System.Drawing.Bitmap image of the barcode, use the
GetImage(ImageFormat) method instead.

SizeMode Property
C1.Win.C1BarCode.4 Assembly > C1.Win.C1BarCode Namespace > C1QRCode Class : SizeMode Property
Gets or sets how the barcode image is displayed within the control.
Syntax

Public Property SizeMode As System.Windows.Forms.PictureBoxSizeMode
C#
public System.Windows.Forms.PictureBoxSizeMode SizeMode {get; set;}
Remarks
This property only affects how the barcode is displayed within the control. It has no effect on
the actual barcode image, as returned by the Image property.
In most applications, you will either center or left-align the barcode image within the control.
Although stretching the image is possible, it may make it unreadable for some barcode readers.

Gets or sets the size, in pixels, of the symbols used to build the QR image.
Syntax
Public Property SymbolSize As System.Integer
C#
public System.int SymbolSize {get; set;}
Remarks
Larger values will result in larger images which consume more space but may be easier to for
some scanners to read.
The default symbol size is three pixels, which usually represents a good compromise between
size and readability.
This property must be set to values between 2 and 10.

Description
Codabar
Codabar may encode 16 different characters (0 through 9 plus -$:/.+), plus

an additional 4 start/stop characters (A through D). Codabar is used by
some US blood banks, photo labs, and on FedEx air bills.
Code128
Code 128 is a very high density alpha-numeric bar code. It will use the least
amount of space of any current 1-D symbology for symbols with 6
characters or more.
Code39
Code 39 is an alpha-numeric encoding also known as 3 of 9 and LOGMARS.

This was the first alphanumeric symbology developed, and is one of the
most widely used encodings.
Code93
Code 93 is an alpha-numeric encoding that is slightly denser than code 39.
CodeI2of5
Code I2of5 is a numeric encoding. The symbol can be as long as necessary

to store the encoded data.
Ean13
EAN-13 was implemented by the International Article Numbering

Association (EAN) in Europe. EAN-13 encodes a 12-digit code that consists
of a 2 digit system code followed by a 5 digit manufacturer code and a 5digit product code. The 12-digit code is followed by a checksum digit
(automatically added by the control).
Ean8
EAN-8 provides a short barcode for small packages. It encodes a 7-digit

code that consists of a 2 or 3 digit system code followed by a 4 or 5 digit
product code. The 7-digit code is followed by a checksum digit
(automatically added by the control).
PostNet
PostNet is a numeric encoding used by the US postal service. It differs from

most others in that it is based on the height of the bars rather than on their
width.
UpcA
UPC-A is the common encoding you will find on virtually every consumer
good on the shelves of your local supermarket, as well as books, magazines,
and newspapers. It is similar to EAN-13, and encodes 11 digits of numeric

data along with a trailing check digit. The first digit determines the number
system, followed by a 5-digit manufacturer code, a 5-digit product code,
and the check digit.
UpcE
UPC-E is a variation of UPC-A which allows for a more compact barcode by

eliminating "extra" zeros. Since the resulting UPC-E barcode is about half the
size as an UPC-A barcode, it is generally used on products with very small
packaging.
When using the UpcE encoding, set the Text property to an 11-digit string
as if you were using the UpcA encoding.
Note that not all UpcA codes can be encoded in UpcE. If the manufacturer
code ends with "000", "100", or "200", the product number must be <= 900.
If the manufacturer code ends with "00" but not with "100", "200", or "300",
then the product number must be <= 90. If the manufacturer code ends
with "0" but not with "00", then the product number must be <= 9. If the
manufacturer code does not end with "0", then the product number must be
between 5 and 9.
Remarks
The CodeTypeEnum enumeration represents the different types of barcode that can be
generated by the C1BarCode control.
Some types of barcode can be used to represent alphanumeric values, others can only
represent numeric values.
