Barcode Generation API

• Jun 25, 2026

The Barcode Generation API allows you create barcode images in .NET applications. Use the new DevExpress.Docs.Barcode namespace to choose a symbology, configure common and symbology-specific options, and export the barcode as an image for documents or UI workflows.

Important

You need a license for the DevExpress Office & PDF File API Subscription or DevExpress Universal Subscription to use this library in production code.

Typical Barcode Generation Workflow

1. Choose symbology from the supported barcode list.
2. Configure common options (colors, layout, DPI, module size).
3. Set symbology-specific options (for example, QR Code error correction).
4. Export a barcode image and embed it in your application or documents.
