ASPAlliance.com : ASP and ASP.NET Tutorials : Using GDI+ to Draw Barcodes
"If you ever have the requirement for Code39 and UPC-A barcodes, Terry presents how to use managed code and the GDI+ versus fonts, controls, or components for making these type of barcodes. Your debugging process, and adding of new features have never been easier. ..."
Pretty interesting... If you've had to print/render/etc barcodes you know that it can sometimes be a pain. In the past I've used third party controls and/or special bar code fonts. Both approaches has had problems... Deployment, they're black boxes, difficult customization, etc.
I always thought doing bar codes was "hard" so the third party pain was worth it. No need to reinvent the wheel, yada, yada, yada.
Well in looking at this sample, it looks like it might not be all that hard (well now Mr. Voss has done most of the hard work :)
All in all this article is a good starting point if you are interested in rolling your own barcode rastering/printing/rendering/etc.
