My project can saperate into many part here: - client-user account - customer account - material account - store - point-of-sell (storefront) - purchasing cycle - and accounting In the store and point-of-sell parts I need to use barcode reader and I need to generate barcode label by myself but I can't find any resource about barcode format and generating If anyone can help me through this problem or can point me to any resource, I would thank you very much. ------------------------------------ my e-mail: s_thamvarodom@hotmail.com, s_thamvarodom@yahoo.com (Thailand, Asia) T.

          If you didn't find anything, it's because you either didn't search at all, or your eyes were closed when the search results came up. Google for generate barcode in vb.net[^]

            All you need is font, and calculate check digit when forming the bar code (ie Code+CheckDigit). And I _assume_ that, as you might be printing bar code labels to be pasted on products, and the labels might not be large enough to be scanned, if you use a normal printer, you should get a bar code printer instead. The ways of configuring the bar code printer should come with the bar code printer. To use the barcode reader, you don't usually need to do much else, as the reader acts as a keyboard. Just make the cursor is on the capturing control (textbox) and the barcode is of correct code.

              Hey, I ask you for a help not for a complain but thank you for your response. First of all I'm newly in microsoft technologies and I never learn for the barcode technology before and I need to implement it for my project but I spent my time for about 6 hours to find topics about barcode on the internet, I searched on google but when result came up it's only commercial product advertising, I tried not I didn't find. I accept that I'm not smart but at least I'm try to get it successed so I ask you to help me.

                Thank you very much, I got the concept. Now, I'm getting barcode fonts and paper about how to generate checking digit (I got it from one article about barcode in this website and he posted the URL to find out how to generate barcode checking digit) and I will implement it. Thank you. S. Thamvarodom

                  CodeProject holds over 30 articles on barcodes, some use special fonts, some draw the lines themselves. in 6 hours you could have read all of them. :)

                    The problem has nothing to do with either. If you want to successfully write code, no matter the language or technology, the single most important skill you must have nothing to do with programming. It's the ability to do research. How to find information using, and refining the correct search terms, how to hypothesize, and how to test those hypothesis. If you don't know this skill - learn it. It's far more useful than knowing how to write code.
