Code 128 Barcodes with SQL Server Reporting Services SSRS -As Text

• Ensure BarCodeWizFonts.Code128.dll as well as the font files are installed on the server.
• See BarCodeWiz Fonts in SSRS - Installation

Add Reference:

• In the Report Properties window, select the References section
• 1) Click Add to add the assembly
• 2) Type: BarCodeWizFonts.Code128
• 3) Click Add to add a class instance
• 4) Type BarCodeWizFonts.Code128.Code128Fonts for class name and MyCode128 for instance name

• The report is now ready.

• Code128Auto() Encodes data in the most efficient way possible, using a combination of subsets if necessary. Supports all 128 ASCII characters.
• This function should be used with one of the following fonts:
  BCW_Code128_1 through BCW_Code128_6 (does not show human readable text)
• This function requires the use of a barcode font without human-readable text. However, the text can easily be displayed in a separate formula field with a font such as Arial.
• To encode a control character, enter it in the format: ^000, where 000 is its digital ASCII value. For example, ABC^009 encodes ABC followed by TAB. To encode FNC1, enter: ^F1
• Example 1: =Code.MyCode128.Code128Auto("abc123")
  Example 2: =Code.MyCode128.Code128Auto("abc123^009") - Encodes abc123 followed by TAB
  Example 3: =Code.MyCode128.Code128Auto(Fields!ProductNumber.Value) - Encodes data from your ProductNumber column in your DataSet

• Code128A() Encodes data using Code 128 Subset A only. It supports numbers, upper case letters, control characters (such as tab or new-line), space, and the following: !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_
  To encode a special character (like TAB), encode it in the format ^000, where 000 is the decimal ASCII number.
• Use this function with one of the following fonts:
  BCW_Code128A_1 through BCW_Code128A_6 (shows human-readable text under barcode)
  BCW_Code128_1 through BCW_Code128_6 (does not show human readable text)
• Example 1: =Code.MyCode128.Code128A("ABC123")
  Example 2: =Code.MyCode128.Code128A("ABC123^009") - (Encodes ABC123 followed by TAB)

• Code128B() Encodes data using Code 128 Subset B only. It supports numbers, upper and lower-case letters, space, and the following characters: !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~
  To encode special characters like TAB or CARRIAGE RETURN, use format ^000 where 000 is the decimal ASCII number (For example, ^009 for TAB). Special characters are supported by temporarily shifting to Subset A. This process is automatic.
• Use this function with one of the following fonts:
  BCW_Code128B_1 through BCW_Code128B_6 (shows human-readable text under barcode)
  BCW_Code128_1 through BCW_Code128_6 (does not show human readable text)
• Example 1: =Code.MyCode128.Code128B("abc123")
  Example 2: =Code.MyCode128.Code128B("abc123^009") - Encodes abc123 followed by TAB
  Example 3: =Code.MyCode128.Code128B(Fields!ProductNumber!Value) - Encodes data from your ProductNumber column in your DataSet

• Code128C() Encodes data using Code 128 Subset C. It supports numbers only and must contain an even number of digits.
• The digits are encoded in pairs of two, resulting in a barcode about half as wide as subset A or B.
• Use this function with one of the following fonts:
  BCW_Code128C_1 through BCW_Code128C_6 (shows human-readable text under barcode)
  BCW_Code128_1 through BCW_Code128_6 (does not show human readable text)
• Example 1: =Code.MyCode128.Code128C("00123456")
  Example 2: =Code.MyCode128.Code128C(Fields!ProductNumber!Value) - Encodes data from your ProductNumber column in your DataSet
