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 Pharmacode (an object of the PharmacodeGenerator type).
Specify common barcode properties and properties specific to Pharmacode.
Specific Properties
Use the PharmacodeType property to specify whether the Pharmacode has one or two tracks.
Runtime Example
The following code creates a one-track Pharmacode and specifies its properties.

using DevExpress.XtraPrinting.BarCode;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
// ...
public XRBarCode CreatePharmacodeBarCode(string BarCodeText) {
// Create a bar code control.
XRBarCode barCode = new XRBarCode();
// Set the type to Pharmacode
barCode.Symbology = new PharmacodeGenerator() {
// Specify the Pharmacode type
PharmacodeType = PharmacodeType.OneTrack
};
// Adjust the appearance.
barCode.Text = BarCodeText;
barCode.Height = 100;
barCode.Width = 220;
return barCode;
}
To add the XRBarCode to a report band, handle the report’s BeforePrint event.
