MSI - Plessey
- 2 minutes to read
MSI is based on the Plessey Code symbology. MSI, also known as Modified Plessey, is used primarily to mark retail shelves for inventory control.
Refer to the following topic for more details: MSI Barcode.
Add the Bar Code to a Report
Drag the XRBarCode item from the DX.20.2: Report Controls tab and drop it onto the report.
Set the XRBarCode control’s Symbology property to CodeMSI (an object of the CodeMSIGenerator type).
Specify common barcode properties and properties specific to MSI.
Specific Properties
Use the barcode’s MSICheckSum property to get or set the checksum type for the barcode.
Runtime Example
The following code creates the MSI - Plessey barcode and specifies its properties.
Note
The complete sample project is available in the following repository: https://github.com/DevExpress-Examples/Reporting_how-to-add-a-bar-code-to-a-report-e167.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Drawing.Printing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using DevExpress.XtraPrinting.BarCode;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
// ...
public XRBarCode CreateCodeMSIBarCode(string BarCodeText) {
// Create a bar code control.
XRBarCode barCode = new XRBarCode();
// Set the bar code's type to MSI.
barCode.Symbology = new CodeMSIGenerator();
// Adjust the bar code's main properties.
barCode.Text = BarCodeText;
barCode.Width = 400;
barCode.Height = 100;
// Adjust the properties specific to the bar code type.
((CodeMSIGenerator)barCode.Symbology).MSICheckSum = MSICheckSum.DoubleModulo10;
return barCode;
}
To add the XRBarCode to a report band, handle the report’s BeforePrint event.
