How to Generate ISBN with Supplement Barcode
Using integrated KA.Barcode for .NET Suite, a two-digit or five-digit supplement barcode can be added to an ISBN, thus more information could be encoded and displayed. The data, height as well as the space between the main and supplement barcode are customizable. To generate ISBN with supplement barcode in .NET, please copy the following code to your project:
Two-digit supplement barcode (ISBNSup2)
using KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean;
BarCode isbnsup2 = new BarCode();
isbnsup2.Symbology = KeepAutomation.Barcode.Symbology.ISBNSup2;
isbnsup2.CodeToEncode = "978123456789";
isbnsup2.SupplementCode = "12";
isbnsup2.SupplementHeight = 0.8f;
isbnsup2.SupplementSpace = 15;
isbnsup2.generateBarcodeToImageFile("c://isbnsup2-csharp.png");
Dim isbnsup2 As KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean.BarCode = New KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean.BarCode
isbnsup2.Symbology = KeepAutomation.Barcode.Symbology.ISBNSup2
isbnsup2.CodeToEncode = "978123456789"
isbnsup2.SupplementCode = "12"
isbnsup2.SupplementHeight = 0.8
isbnsup2.SupplementSpace = 15
isbnsup2.generateBarcodeToImageFile("c:/isbnsup2-vbnet.png")
Five-digit supplement barcode (ISBNSup5)
using KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean;
BarCode isbnsup5 = new BarCode();
isbnsup5.Symbology = KeepAutomation.Barcode.Symbology.ISBNSup5;
isbnsup5.CodeToEncode = "978123456789";
isbnsup5.SupplementCode = "12345";
isbnsup5.SupplementHeight = 0.8f;
isbnsup5.SupplementSpace = 15;
isbnsup5.generateBarcodeToImageFile("c://isbnsup5-csharp.png");
Dim isbnsup5 As KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean.BarCode = New KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean.BarCode
isbnsup5.Symbology = KeepAutomation.Barcode.Symbology.ISBNSup5
isbnsup5.CodeToEncode = "978123456789"
isbnsup5.SupplementCode = "12345"
isbnsup5.SupplementHeight = 0.8
isbnsup5.SupplementSpace = 15
isbnsup5.generateBarcodeToImageFile("c:/isbnsup5-vbnet.png")
Generate ISBN in Microsoft IIS
1.
Copy the "barcode" folder from the unzipped folder to IIS web application folder
2.
Create a virtual directory named "barcode", then link it to the "barcode" folder in web application folder
3.
Testing: Open your web browser, and navigate to "http://localhost/barcode/barcode.aspx? code-to-encode =978123456789&symbology =18&x=1&barcode-width=150" (symboloy: ISBN=18, ISBNSup2=19, ISBNSup5=20)
4.
Adding ISBN to web page: insert the following tag onto your web pages
< img src="http://localhost/barcode/barcode.aspx? code-to-encode =978123456789&symbology =18&x=1&barcode-width=150/">
