Assembly deployment

The following assembly reference is required for deploying the Barcode.

Creating an application with SfBarcode

In this walkthrough, you will create a WinForms application that contains the SfBarcode control.

Creating the project

Create a new Windows Forms Project in Visual Studio to display the SfBarcode.

Adding control via Designer

The SfBarcode control can be added to the application by dragging it from the Toolbox and dropping it in the Designer. The required assembly references will be added automatically.

Adding control in Code

In order to add the control manually, follow the below steps,

1. Add the below required assembly references to the project,

   • Syncfusion.SfBarcode.Windows

2. Create the SfBarcode control instance and add it to the Form

   C#

   using Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Barcode;
      
   namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
   {
       public partial class Form1 : Form
       {
           public Form1()
           {
               InitializeComponent();
               SfBarcode sfBarcode1 = new SfBarcode();
               sfBarcode1.Text = "http://www.google.com";
               this.Controls.Add(this.sfBarcode1);
           }
       }
   }

   VB.NET

   Imports Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Barcode
      
   Namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
       Partial Public Class Form1
           Inherits Form
           Public Sub New()
               InitializeComponent()
               Dim sfBarcode1 As New SfBarcode()
               sfBarcode1.Text = "http://www.google.com"
               Me.Controls.Add(Me.sfBarcode1)
           End Sub
       End Class
   End Namespace
