(Tampa, FL.) IDAutomation.com announces the release of the
GS1 DataBar Windows Forms
Component, which allows high-quality, dynamic barcode generation in the
.NET Framework 1.1 or greater development environment. DataBar is the new barcode
type mandated in 2010 by GS1 to be used in all POS systems. DataBar barcodes
encode the full 14 digit GTIN (Global Trade Identification Number), which is
a limitation of UPC and EAN numbers currently used in POS. In addition to the
GTIN, additional information such as country of origin, serial number, product
weight, production date and expiration date may be encoded in the DataBar Expanded
barcode type and scanned in for automated verification in POS systems.
The component easily integrates into Visual Studio .NET, C# and Visual Basic.
The control may be used as a DLL or loaded on a form. Several methods are available
that allow images to be printed directly to the printer, saved to a file or
copied to the clipboard. The following
GS1 DataBar
types are supported: Omni-directional, Stacked, Truncated, Stacked
Omni-directional,
Limited, Expanded, Expanded Stacked Omni-directional and Composite Components.
The same DLL also supports PDF417, MicroPDF417, UPC-E, UPC-A, EAN-8, EAN-13,
GS1-128 and Code 128. It includes source code for an image generation application,
which was written in VB .NET.
A fully functional evaluation copy may be downloaded from their website at

IDAutomation provides barcode fonts, components and software applications
that support several barcode types. IDAutomation.com has been marketing products
for businesses since 1996 and is privately held. For more information, visit
