Barcode (code 39) generation

Question

I've been looking for solutions and so far the best one I think for my project is to use a free Code 39 font. However, I've tried printing some samples and my barcode scanners can't read them.

I researched a bit more and stumbled upon this.

I printed Code 39 barcodes using that library and it worked just fine, the scanners are able to read them.

Problem is, the library is written in C# but not for ASP.net. I've tried playing around with the code but it's too complex for my basic knowledge. There are a lot of functions included in that library code and has a lot of other barcode types, making it harder for me to analyze.

Are there other ways to generate a Code 39 barcode? The library in codeproject seems a little to complex for my requirements.

Answer 1

Barcode scanners require your code 39 barcodes to be prefixed and suffixed with asterisks to read. Example: *12345*
