This example illustrates how to add barcodes to a VB.NET or C# application.

To add BarCodeWiz ActiveX Control to your toolbox, right-click on one of the sections (such as General) and click on Choose Items...

Switch to the COM Components tab, select BarcodeWiz Class, and click OK.

BarcodeWiz Class will now appear in the toolbox.

Insert a barcode and a button control onto the form by dragging from the Toolbox.

The barcode control is named AxBarCodeWiz1 by default.

The following code will print a barcode on the page in position 100,100 pixels from top/left.

Public Class Form1

  Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _

                          ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

      'Set the barcode properties.

      AxBarCodeWiz1.Symbology = BARCODEWIZLib.enumSYMBOLOGY.Code_128_Auto

      AxBarCodeWiz1.Barcode = "HELLO 123"

      Dim pd As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument

      AddHandler pd.PrintPage, AddressOf pd_PrintPage

      Dim pp As New PrintPreviewDialog

      pp.Document = pd

      pp.ShowDialog(Me)

  End Sub

  Private Sub pd_PrintPage(ByVal sender As Object, _

                          ByVal ev As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs)

      'Add the barcode at position (100,100).

      ev.Graphics.DrawImage(AxBarCodeWiz1.Picture, 100, 100)

      'No more pages, let's print.

      ev.HasMorePages = False

  End Sub

End Class
