dBarcode.NET Component Universal is a fully-managed-code component for generating 1D barcode images in the .NET framework. Barcode images may be displayed on screen, printed on a printer, copied to the clipboard or saved as graphics file image. The component includes methods for saving graphic images as files or memory streams with a specified resolution in BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIF or WMF formats, and, for most barcode types, also generates pattern strings for developers who wish to draw their own bars. When creating bitmap images the component may be set to adjust the width of the bars to be an integer number of pixels, ensuring that the resultant barcode is of high quality. The component also contains its own dialog box which may be used by the developer to allow the end-user to select barcode properties. dBarcode.NET 1D Universal supports over 50 of the most common 1D barcode types, including Codabar, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, EAN/UCC-13, EAN/UCC-14, GS1-128, IATA 2 of 5, Interleaved 2 of 5, ISBN, ISSN, ISMN, MSI, SSCC, Telepen, UPC-A, UPC-E, and many postal codes including InfoMail, OneCode, Postnet, Planet, RM4SCC and those for Australia, China, Germany, Italy, Korea, Japan and Singapore.

Other dBarcode.NET products include:
