Could the Barcode Rendering Framework at ~~Codeplex~~ GitHub be of help?

Hint - You need to download the source file in order to find some sample projects that show some examples. There doesn't appear to be anything on the website. – John M Oct 20 '11 at 19:03

Quick an easy "Hello World" c# sample: Add Reference -> Browse -> Zen.Barcode.Core.dll. Then add in your code using Zen.Barcode **Code39 Examples:** `Code39BarcodeDraw barcode39 = BarcodeDrawFactory.Code39WithoutChecksum;` `pictureBox1.Image = barcode39.Draw("Hello World", 40);` PitureBox1 will now display the barcode type 39. It's readable by a scanner. – Patratacus Aug 16 '13 at 16:54

I do recommend BarcodeLibrary

Here is a small piece of code of how to use it.

        BarcodeLib.Barcode barcode = new BarcodeLib.Barcode()
        {
            IncludeLabel = true,
            Alignment = AlignmentPositions.CENTER,
            Width = 300,
            Height = 100,
            RotateFlipType = RotateFlipType.RotateNoneFlipNone,
            BackColor = Color.White,
            ForeColor = Color.Black,
        };

        Image img = barcode.Encode(TYPE.CODE128B, "123456789");

This is very basic. Creates only ONE type of barcode. – Elmue Mar 24 '15 at 23:01
