Print barcode (3 of 9) in silverlight

Question

I want to be able to print barcodes (with the 3 of 9 font) using the string text in a Silverlight page. Is there any simple way to do it? Or should I be using a library like http://www.codeproject.com/KB/graphics/BarcodeLibrary.aspx. Any suggestions will be helpful.

Answer 1

You could generate 3 of 9 barcodes using graphic elements, but a font is easiest as the pattern for barcodes is quite tedious to replicate (I know as I generated several barcode fonts).

Try one of my barcode fonts here: http://fontstruct.com/fontstructors/hal9000lives

If you do want to try making it with UI elements, the 3 of 9 pattern is shown here: http://www.adams1.com/39code.html

Answer 2

The easiest way to print a barcode is using a barcode font.
