I’m working on Visual Studio 2005 Mobile using C# language.
I need to create simple barcode 3 of 9. How can I do it? Do I need download
barcode controls or dll files?
 
Nina,

Do you want to create a barcode on printed output? If so, the printer
control language of your printer may allow you to specify the type of
barcode to print.
 
I've verified that the free font indicated in my previous message works, at
least on my CE5-based device. There are actually two fonts there for two
different versions of 3-of-9, apparently. They both display fine for me.

In free package there are two TTF files with barcodes. How can I use them in
my code to convert string to barcode?

You don't know what a "font" is? A "typeface"? Like Arial or Times Roman
that you'd use in Word? It's not a single item that you download from
Microsoft or something; you simply need one of the probably many fonts
where the representation of "A" is the 3 of 9 barcode for "A".

Here's one for purchase:

Here's a supposedly free one:

They don't have those functions.

It's a Font. Use it like any other Font. If you want *1234* as a barcode,
then simply use "*1234*" as the string in that font. There is no other
"conversion"

How can I get that 3of9 font? Is it software?

:

Get a 3of9 font and just use that. It's definitly the simplest way.

How about you back way up and tell us what you're trying to do, exactly.
What's your OS? WHat's your hardware. You know - all of the things we need
to know to actually anser this question.

I installed on my PC IDAutomation fonts for Windows. In Word document I can
see barcode when I select "IDAutomationSC39XS" font. In Visual Studio in
design mode I can see barcode in text property of Label control. But after I
run an application i see in label "Tahoma" font. The code:
this.label1.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("IDAutomationSC39XS", 10F,
System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular);
label1.Text = "*123*";
in runtime gives me a string *123* not a barcode. How to make it work?
 
I tried to install IDAutomation exe file on my handheld and got an error:
"_INSTALL.exe is not valid Windows CE application". How can I copy fonts?
 
I copied IDAutomationC39XS.ttf file to handheld in Windoes/Fonts directiry.
It still doesn't work.
 
In my code:
Font font = new Font("IDAutomationC39XC", 10F, FontStyle.Regular);
After execute that line font is:
font {Name="Tahoma" Size=10.0}
 
Why are you resetting? Your application should be getting erased during
that reset too, so if the font disappears, how is that a problem? There's
no app to use it.
