How to Generate EAN-8 in C#, VB.NET Class Library
Switch to the Visual Studio Solution Explorer window, and add "KeepAutomation.Barcode.Windows.dll" or "KeepAutomation.Barcode.Web.dll" to as reference of the project. Then copy the following C# or VB.NET to where the EAN-8 is generated.
using KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean;
BarCode ean8 = new BarCode();
ean8.Symbology = KeepAutomation.Barcode.Symbology.EAN8;
ean8.CodeToEncode = "0123456";
ean8.generateBarcodeToImageFile("c://ean8-csharp.png");
Dim ean8 As KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean.BarCode = New KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean.BarCode
ean8.Symbology = KeepAutomation.Barcode.Symbology.EAN8
ean8.CodeToEncode = "0123456"

How to Generate EAN-8 with Supplement Barcode
Two types of supplement barcode could be added to EAN-8 for the encoding and display of additional information. They are two-digit supplement barcode (EAN8Sup2) and five-digit supplement barcode (EAN8Sup5). The data, height, and space between EAN-8 and supplement barcode are customizable. Please copy the following code to your project:
Two-digit supplement barcode (EAN8Sup2)
using KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean;
BarCode ean8sup2 = new BarCode();
ean8sup2.Symbology = KeepAutomation.Barcode.Symbology.EAN8Sup2;
ean8sup2.CodeToEncode = "0123456";
ean8sup2.SupplementCode = "12";
ean8sup2.SupplementHeight = 0.8f;
ean8sup2.SupplementSpace = 15;
ean8sup2.generateBarcodeToImageFile("c://ean8sup2-csharp.png");
Dim ean8sup2 As KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean.BarCode = New KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean.BarCode
ean8sup2.Symbology = KeepAutomation.Barcode.Symbology.EAN8Sup2
ean8sup2.CodeToEncode = "0123456"
ean8sup2.SupplementCode = "12"
ean8sup2.SupplementHeight = 0.8
ean8sup2.SupplementSpace = 15
ean8sup2.generateBarcodeToImageFile("c:/ean8sup2-vbnet.png")
Five-digit supplement barcode (EAN8Sup5)
using KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean;
BarCode ean8sup5 = new BarCode();
ean8sup5.Symbology = KeepAutomation.Barcode.Symbology.EAN8Sup5;
ean8sup5.CodeToEncode = "0123456";
ean8sup5.SupplementCode = "12345";
ean8sup5.SupplementHeight = 0.8f;
ean8sup5.SupplementSpace = 15;
ean8sup5.generateBarcodeToImageFile("c://ean8sup5-csharp.png");
Dim ean8sup5 As KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean.BarCode = New KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean.BarCode
ean8sup5.Symbology = KeepAutomation.Barcode.Symbology.EAN8Sup5
ean8sup5.CodeToEncode = "0123456"
ean8sup5.SupplementCode = "12345"
ean8sup5.SupplementHeight = 0.8
ean8sup5.SupplementSpace = 15
ean8sup5.generateBarcodeToImageFile("c:/ean8sup5-vbnet.png")
How to Generate EAN-8 in Microsoft IIS
1.
Copy the "barcode" folder from the unzipped folder to IIS web application folder
2.
Create a virtual directory named "barcode", then link it to the "barcode" folder in web application folder
3.
Testing: Open your web browser, and navigate to "http://localhost/barcode/barcode.aspx?symbology=12&code-to-encode=0123456"(symboloy: EAN8=12, EAN8Sup2=13, EAN8Sup5=14)
4.
Adding EAN-8 to web page: insert the following tag onto your web pages <img src="http://localhost/barcode/barcode.aspx?symbology=12&code-to-encode=0123456"/>
