Hi shailendra,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Please use the following code snippet to generate the Code128 encoded barcode.

// Generate the barcode
BarCodeBuilder builder = new BarCodeBuilder();
//code text font's type and size
builder.CodeTextFont = new System.Drawing.Font("Verdana", 12f);
//Set the symbology type to Code128
builder.SymbologyType = Symbology.Code128;
//Set the Code text for the barcode
builder.CodeText = "1234567";
//Increase the space between code text and barcode to 1 point
builder.CodeTextSpace = 1.0f;
//Set the Code text for the barcode
builder.CodeText = "1234567";
//Align the code text to center
builder.CodeTextAlignment = System.Drawing.StringAlignment.Center;
//Set the location of the code text to above the barcode
builder.CodeLocation = CodeLocation.Above;
//Set the code text fore color to red
builder.CodeTextColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
//Save the image to your system and set its image format to Jpeg
builder.Save("barcode.jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);

Thanks for replying
While running this code it is showing following error

"BarCodeBuilder builder = new BarCodeBuilder(); "

The type or namespace name ‘BarCodeBuilder’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

" builder.SymbologyType = Symbology.Code128; "

The name ‘Symbology’ does not exist in the current context

Thank You
