How to Generate Code 128 in C# or VB.NET Programming
Only two steps are required to produce and stream Code 128 barcode image into ASP.NET web form applications using the C# or VB.NET sample code below.
  1. Choose "KeepAutomation.Barcode.Web.dll" and locate it to your ASP.NET Web project reference.
  2. Refer to the following C# or VB.NET barcoding sample code.
C# Sample code
     BarCode code128 = new BarCode();
code128.Symbology = KeepAutomation.Barcode.Symbology.Code128Auto;
code128.CodeToEncode = "128data";
code128.X = 2;
code128.generateBarcodeToImageFile("C://code128-csharp.png");

VB Sample code
     Dim code128 As KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean.BarCode = New KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean.BarCode

code128.Symbology = KeepAutomation.Barcode.Symbology.Code128Auto
code128.CodeToEncode = "128test"
code128.X = 2
code128.ImageFormat = System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif()
code128.generateBarcodeToImageFile("C://code128-vb-net.gif")

How to Specify a Code 128 to GS1-128 in ASP.NET
.NET users are able to indicate the Code 128 encoded is the one based on GS1 standard, namely GS1-128. This could be accomplished using "ApplicationIndicator" property.
C# Sample code
     code128.ApplicationIndicator = 0;
VB Sample code
     code128.ApplicationIndicator = 0
How to Create GS1 Compatible Code 128 in ASP.NET
By agreement between AIM, Inc. and GS1 (formerly EAN International and the Uniform Code Council (UCC)), the use of FNC1 could be used to encode GS1 compatible Code 128. To achieve this, users should set the "FNC1" property.
C# Sample code
     code128.FNC1 = KeepAutomation.Barcode.FNC1.First;
VB Sample code
     code128.FNC1 = KeepAutomation.Barcode.FNC1.First
How to Set Tilde Function of Code 128 in ASP.NET
Code 128 Symbols are able to encode special characters by setting "TildeEnabled" property to true.
C# Sample code
     code128.TildeEnabled = true;
VB Sample code
     code128.TildeEnabled = true
How to Generate Code 128 in Microsoft IIS Through URL
  1. Unzip the trial package, copy "barcode" folder and its contents to your IIS, and create a new virtual directory "barcode".
  2. Restart IIS, and navigate to "http://YourDomain:port/barcode/barcode.aspx?code-to-encode=0128&symbology=7" (TYPE: Code128Auto = 7, Code128A = 8, Code128B = 9, Code128C = 10).
  3. Now a Code 128 is generated and you can change barcode properties in the url above, view http parameters here.
