Hey guys,
I have created a barcode in my layout and its background is grey...
Do you know, how I can change the background colour to white?
It is a rdlc layout and the barcode I have created through an image.
Thank you ;)
This is very very very easy.
1. Download and install a free or purchased barcode font in the server machine and restart it (this is needed to print server side)
2. Do the same in all development client machines
3. Design your report and in the textbox that has to print the barcode, select FontFamily. In the Font Family you should be able to see the name of your barcode. Select that one.
End of the story.
Some important notes
1. Font MUST be TrueType (and not open type or whatever)
2. Font embeddability must not be restricted
You will find these font properties shown in the windows/font directory after you have installed the font/font family.
Ejnoy.
Ok, thank you for your response.
Do you know, where I can find an explantion to add barcodes with barcode fonts?
I would strongly (very strongly) suggest you NOT to use images within client since these are pretty heavy in terms of resource consumption (memory leak might be behind the door). I have seen this already several times with e.g. Item List. Really quite a nonsense - unless you are forced to -.
I would suggest you to abandon the image pattern and fall back to use a specific barcode font.
You will see a dramatic performance improvement.
Related to the image. You cannot change this within RDLC. The image will just be converted into a base64 string and you cannot do any kind of manipulation.
