Hi:

In using Visual Studio Code for working with Application Language, you can search on "barcodes" and "QR" to install extensions for generating barcodes and QR codes.

For those who have done this, is one extension better than another?

Thanks!

John

You don't need any third-party app, BC standard has built in barcode and QR code functionality.

1. Install a Barcode/QR Code Extension

Search for extensions in Visual Studio Code:

Open VS Code

Go to Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X)

Search for "barcode" or "QR code"

Recommended options:

"Barcode Generator" – Generates barcodes within VS Code.

"QR Code Generator" – Creates QR codes for text or URLs.

2. Implement Barcodes in Business Central Reports

For adding barcodes to reports in Dynamics 365 Business Central, follow Microsoft's official guide:
🔗 Microsoft Docs – Add Barcodes to Reports

Use a barcode font in RDLC or Word reports.

Use AL code to format barcode data correctly.

Install required fonts on your report server.

If you need specific barcode types (e.g., Code 128, QR Code), choose an extension that supports them.
