Configure Barcode Settings (SSCCOptions)

Use the SSCCOptions class to configure SSCC barcode settings.

The following code snippet creates a Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) barcode and specifies its settings:

C#

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

var sscc18Options = new SSCCOptions();
sscc18Options.BackColor = Color.LightGray;
sscc18Options.ShowText = false;
sscc18Options.Padding = new Padding(5);
sscc18Options.BorderWidth = 1;
sscc18Options.BorderColor = Color.Blue;

using var sscc18OptionsStream = new FileStream(Path.Combine(outDir, "barcode_symbology_sscc18.png"), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
using var sscc18OptionsGenerator = new BarcodeGenerator(sscc18Options);
sscc18OptionsGenerator.Export("12345678901234567", sscc18OptionsStream, DXImageFormat.Png);

VB.NET

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

Dim sscc18Options As New SSCCOptions()
sscc18Options.BackColor = Color.LightGray
sscc18Options.ShowText = False
sscc18Options.Padding = New Padding(5)
sscc18Options.BorderWidth = 1
sscc18Options.BorderColor = Color.Blue

Using sscc18OptionsStream As New FileStream(Path.Combine(outDir, "barcode_symbology_sscc18.png"), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write)
    Using sscc18OptionsGenerator As New BarcodeGenerator(sscc18Options)
        sscc18OptionsGenerator.Export("12345678901234567", sscc18OptionsStream, DXImageFormat.Png)
    End Using
End Using

Configure Barcode Settings (Fluent API)

Use the SSCCOptionsBuilder class to configure SSCC barcode settings with Fluent API.

The following code snippet creates a Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) barcode and specifies its settings:

C#

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

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

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

using var stream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create);
using var generator = new BarcodeGenerator(sSCCcode);
generator.Export("12345678901234567", stream, DXImageFormat.Png);

VB.NET

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

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

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

Using stream As New FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create)
    Using generator As New BarcodeGenerator(sSCCcode)
        generator.Export("12345678901234567", stream, DXImageFormat.Png)
    End Using
End Using
