I need to print Barcodes from a Pocket PC. ¿There is something in the
OpenNetCF.org to do the work?

Thanks on advance
 
Not unless you write it and contribute it!

There are some .NET CF libraries that will do barcode generation, however.
A Google search should help you locate them. If you need to print, remember
that there is little, if any, printing support in your Pocket PC, so you may
need a separate printer library, too, possibly Field Software's.

David,

Depending on the type of printer you are using, you might just be able to
use the Serial class from OpenNetCF. The printers I use just expect an
escape sequence to turn barcode printing on and off, and I just send the
correct data out the serial port to the printer.

And if this won't work for you, check out a 3rd party product called
PrinterCE.

I've been using Barricuda from www.componentscience.net, works great and
supports WinForms, ASP.NET and CF. If you're just doing UPC or postnet,
there are some fonts that you can install and use (google barcode font to
find them) If you're using 2D barcodes, barricuda is the way to go.
