    Hi,

    It is necessary to encode a string before showing it using an EAN-font. The encoding is depending on the EAN you are using (Code39, Code128 etc.)

    For example, for Code128 the process is described here: www.barcodeisland.com/uccean128.phtml

    Alternativly, you could include a .NET-resource, which you could use to do the generation of a barcode. These external solutions normally return an image which make it easy because you do not to have the barcode-font installed on the clients PC.

    Or, check this here: https://mibuso.com/downloads/results?keywords=code128

    Hi,

    I understand.

    This depends on your local IT environment and which information is encoded into the barcode.

    When the barcode scanner is connected to a local PC and the barcode contains (for example) the Sales Order Number, the user must select the correct field in the QuickFilter and scan. (A barcode scanner basically works the same as a Keyboard.)

    It is also possible to encode a Link which contains information about which Page to call with which record:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd338670(v=nav.90).aspx

    In case you are working with a mobile barcode scanner, it is depending on the supported applications which are able to run on the OS of the mobile device.

    It is possible to achieve your requirement in multiple ways. In my current project, I create a barcode externally and transfer it as a BMP-picture to the RLDC.

    But, using a Barcode-Font may fulfil your requirement already. In the case you are going to use a Barcode-Font, remember that - depended on the Barcode-format - it is necessary to encode the content before showing on the report. Here you'll find a description: www.barcodeisland.com/code93.phtml

    This requirement is very common, so there are a lot of Blog-Articels available. A brief search resulted in this here: thinkaboutit.be/.../how-do-i-print-barcodes-in-rdlc

    You can usw Special Barcode Fonts in Your reports, e.g. code-39. Text is shown as barcode.
