Create EAN code in c#

Limpan · 05-18-2009, 03:55 AM

Hello,

I am develops a Label system for a small business, and i am wondering how i could create EAN codes.
I have looked at some complete scripts, but none of them fitted into the system, they where simply bad coded and i couldn't take any lessons of them.

I thought that i maybe could create a bitmap and put it into a picturebox, but how is the easiest way of creating the file?

EDIT: I am use to work whit binary numbers, if that is required, what do You think?

Thanks a lot,
Linus

European Article Number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Binary arithhmetics would not apply very much here.

How will the codes be presented?
Perhaps you could use an EAN font?

An EAN font isn't an bad idea, but could i include the font in the install package later on?
It should work in a .cab...?
