How to generate barcode from a string using C#?

asp.net, barcode, c#

Solution

Yep. Of course it is possible. :-) As far as I know there are two ways to generate bar codes:

- Using a special bar code font (try to google for "barcode font free")

- Render the bar code to an image and display that (try using the Barcode Rendering Framework available on github)

In response to your updated question about detecting barcode printers: I think a barcode printer will show up as a regular printer on your system. At least that is how the devices I have played with have worked. This means that you can detect a specific barcode printer by enumerating the installed printers on the system and looking for the specified device, but in most cases I would suggest that you let the user specify the printer himself using either the standard print dialog or using a custom dialog.
