Configure Barcode Settings (UPCE1Options)

Use the UPCE1Options class to configure UPC-E1 barcode settings.

The following code snippet creates a Universal Product Code (UPC-E1) barcode and specifies its settings:

C#

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

var upce1code = UPCE1OptionsBuilder.Create()
    .WithBackColor(Color.LightGray)
    .WithShowText(false)
    .WithPadding(5)
    .WithBorderWidth(1)
    .WithBorderColor(Color.Blue)
    .Build();

var filePath = Path.GetFullPath("upce1_code.png");

using var stream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create);
using var generator = new BarcodeGenerator(upce1code);
generator.Export("4210000526", stream, DXImageFormat.Png);

VB.NET

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

Dim upce1code = UPCE1OptionsBuilder.Create() _
    .WithBackColor(Color.LightGray) _
    .WithShowText(False) _
    .WithPadding(5) _
    .WithBorderWidth(1) _
    .WithBorderColor(Color.Blue) _
    .Build()

Dim filePath = Path.GetFullPath("upce1_code.png")

Using stream As New FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create)
    Using generator As New BarcodeGenerator(upce1code)
        generator.Export("4210000526", stream, DXImageFormat.Png)
    End Using
End Using

    .WithBorderColor(Color.Blue)
    .Build();

var filePath = Path.GetFullPath("upce1_code.png");

using var stream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create);
using var generator = new BarcodeGenerator(upce1code);
generator.Export("4210000526", stream, DXImageFormat.Png);

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.Docs.Barcode

Using stream As New FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create)
    Using generator As New BarcodeGenerator(upce1code)
        generator.Export("4210000526", stream, DXImageFormat.Png)
    End Using
End Using
