Aspose.BarCode is implemented using Managed C# and it can be used with any .NET language like C#, VB.NET and J# etc. Aspose.BarCode provides fully featured demos and working examples written in both C# and VB.NET for developers to have a better understanding of our product. Using these demos, developers can quickly learn about the features provided by Aspose.BarCode.

Using GUI controls in Aspose.BarCode, developers can drag & drop the controls on either their ASP.NET Web Pages or Windows Forms and set their properties in GUI mode like other controls in .NET Framework. For the developers who are only interested in backend processing of barcodes, Aspose.BarCode also provides a simple barcode class to ease their jobs.

There is no printer limitation for the barcodes generated with Aspose.BarCode. Developers can use any kind of printer to print barcodes but naturally, the quality of the printed barcode images will be affected by the printers with low resolution.
