Configure Barcode Settings (UPCSupplemental5Options)

Use the UPCSupplemental5Options class to configure UPC Supplemental 5 barcode settings.

The following code snippet creates a Universal Product Code (UPC) Supplemental 5-Digit barcode and specifies its settings:

C#

using DevExpress.Docs.Barcode;
using DevExpress.Drawing;
using System.Drawing;

var upcSup5Options = new UPCSupplemental5Options();
upcSup5Options.BackColor = Color.LightGray;
upcSup5Options.ShowText = false;
upcSup5Options.Padding = new Padding(5);
upcSup5Options.BorderWidth = 1;
upcSup5Options.BorderColor = Color.Blue;

using var upcSup5OptionsStream = new FileStream(Path.Combine(outDir, "barcode_symbology_upc_supplemental5.png"), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
using var upcSup5OptionsGenerator = new BarcodeGenerator(upcSup5Options);
upcSup5OptionsGenerator.Export("4210000526", upcSup5OptionsStream, DXImageFormat.Png);

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.Docs.Barcode
Imports DevExpress.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.IO

Dim upcSup5Options As New UPCSupplemental5Options()
upcSup5Options.BackColor = Color.LightGray
upcSup5Options.ShowText = False
upcSup5Options.Padding = New Padding(5)
upcSup5Options.BorderWidth = 1
upcSup5Options.BorderColor = Color.Blue

Using upcSup5OptionsStream As New FileStream(Path.Combine(outDir, "barcode_symbology_upc_supplemental5.png"), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write)
    Using upcSup5OptionsGenerator As New BarcodeGenerator(upcSup5Options)
        upcSup5OptionsGenerator.Export("4210000526", upcSup5OptionsStream, DXImageFormat.Png)
    End Using
End Using

Configure Barcode Settings (Fluent API)

Use the UPCSupplemental5OptionsBuilder class to configure UPC Supplemental 5 barcode settings with Fluent API.

The following code snippet creates a Universal Product Code (UPC) Supplemental 5-Digit barcode and specifies its settings:

using System.Drawing;

var upcs5code = UPCSupplemental5OptionsBuilder.Create()
    .WithBackColor(Color.LightGray)
    .WithShowText(false)
    .WithPadding(5)
    .WithBorderWidth(1)
    .WithBorderColor(Color.Blue)
    .Build();

var filePath = Path.GetFullPath("upcs5_code.png");

using var stream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create);
using var generator = new BarcodeGenerator(upcs5code);
generator.Export("4210000526", stream, DXImageFormat.Png);

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.Docs.Barcode
Imports DevExpress.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.IO

Dim upcs5code = UPCSupplemental5OptionsBuilder.Create() _
    .WithBackColor(Color.LightGray) _
    .WithShowText(False) _
    .WithPadding(5) _
    .WithBorderWidth(1) _
    .WithBorderColor(Color.Blue) _
    .Build()

Dim filePath = Path.GetFullPath("upcs5_code.png")

Using stream As New FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create)
    Using generator As New BarcodeGenerator(upcs5code)
        generator.Export("4210000526", stream, DXImageFormat.Png)
    End Using
End Using
