Get barcode in vector form as System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath object

In This Topic

Here is C#/VB.NET code that demonstrates how to generate vector barcode as a System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath object.

/// <summary>
/// Returns a barcode in vector form as System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath object.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="barcodeType">Barcode type.</param>
/// <param name="barcodeValue">Barcode value.</param>
/// <returns>A barcode in vector form as System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath object.</returns>
public static System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath GetBarcodeAsGraphicsPath(Vintasoft.Barcode.BarcodeType barcodeType, string barcodeValue)
{
    // create the barcode writer
    using (Vintasoft.Barcode.BarcodeWriter barcodeWriter = new Vintasoft.Barcode.BarcodeWriter())
    {
        // set barcode writer settings
        barcodeWriter.Settings.Barcode = barcodeType;
        barcodeWriter.Settings.Value = barcodeValue;

        // return barcode as GraphicsPath
        return Vintasoft.Barcode.GdiExtensions.GetBarcodeAsGraphicsPath(barcodeWriter);
    }
}
