Barcodes in Visual Studio Code

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by 2,884
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!

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

    My response was crafted with AI assistance, tailored to provide detailed and actionable guidance for your query.

    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.
