IDAutomation also offers several other products that create barcodes for the Internet such as the ASP.NET Barcode Web Server Control, which creates barcodes in ASP.NET or the ASP Barcode Server for IIS, which allows easy generation of barcodes in HTML with the IMG tag. Additionally, the Java Barcode Package is available, which runs on any OS with a JVM including Unix, Linux and the Macintosh.

IDAutomation's XML Barcode Webservice supports several linear barcode symbologies including Code 39, Extended Code 39, Code 128, Telepen, Interleaved 2 of 5, LOGMARS, Codabar, EAN-128, USS Code 128, ITF, UPC-A, UPC-E, MSI, EAN-8, EAN-13, Code 11, Code 93, Industrial 2 of 5, Postnet, Planet, and Intelligent Mail, formerly OneCode.

After installing the XML Barcode Webservice, applications that consume Webservices may request and receive XML barcode images from the server where the Webservice is installed. The hosted version of the Webservice may be used from IDAutomation's fault-tolerant web server without any software installation.

 The XML Barcode Webservice for Windows includes the following features:

• 100% Managed Code created in C# .NET.
• Flexible Sizing Options - The X dimension, wide to narrow ratio, barcode height and several other properties may be adjusted for the intended application and scanning equipment. Measurements are in cm (centimeters) unless otherwise indicated.
• Graphic Configuration settings are provided for the foreground and background colors and fonts for the human-readable characters.
• Complete GS1-128 Support (aka: UCC128 & EAN128) - Easy methods are provided to add all application identifiers into Code 128 barcodes when the "Auto" character set is selected. The control also formats the correct human-readable text by placing the AI's into parentheses as required.
• Checksum Options - Checksum characters may be enabled or disabled in the barcode. In the human-readable text, checksum characters can be appended to the text. This feature can also be turned off so the checksum character is not in the text but is encoded in the barcode.
• Text Options - The human readable text may be enabled or disabled in the linear barcode control. This feature is sometimes disabled by developers that create custom formatting.
• Tilde Functions for Code 128 Auto allow easy encoding of returns, tabs and other functions such as GS and RS functions between fields in a single barcode symbol. For example, web~009service~013 will create a barcode that encodes web<TAB>service<RETURN>.
• Selectable Orientation angles of 0, 90, 180 or 270 are supported.
• Supports JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP and WMF image files.
• Image Resolution Options - By default, the barcode is generated at 96 DPI for display in web applications. Resolution properties in the service allow this to be easily changed as needed.
• C# Source Code will be supplied with the purchase of three Developer Licenses or the Unlimited Developer License and a signed source code license agreement .
• Download a Free Evaluation Version - The only restriction in the evaluation version is the display of the text "DEMO" in the barcode. If the bar height is increased enough, the barcode can still be scanned for testing purposes. Download the demo.
