Actipro Bar Code for Silverlight released

Actipro Bar Code makes it easy to add most common 2D and linear bar codes to any Silverlight application or report. Bar codes can be saved to image files or added as a child control in any Silverlight control. Actipro Bar Code takes all the work out of the bar code generation process by allowing you to simply say what value to encode. It automatically calculates any appropriate checksums and generates the resulting bar code for you. The output is completely customizable with many options, everything from setting the bar height to display of the encoded value below the bar lines.

Features

• Everything from the 2D QR Code, to retail product codes like EAN-13 and UPC-A, to classic linear bar codes such as Code 39.
• Many symbologies have checksums and/or encoded values that are automatically calculated for you.
• Validation routines are included to ensure each value entered for a particular symbology conforms to specifications.
• The barcodes are rendered using vectors meaning that they are always drawn precisely. You can use transforms to scale them to any size, or rotate them, and they will still appear crisp.
• You can easily export any barcode to any image format supported by Silverlight.
• Options such as borders, quiet zone thickness, controlling if and how the value displays, showing a caption above the bar code, setting bar height or cell size etc. are all available.
