Barcode Internet component

Use ActiveBarcode to serve barcodes as images via IIS, Apache2 or directly with the ActiveBarcode Service on your Windows server. On the client side no software installation or modifications are required.

Use barcodeimage with ASP, ASPX or PHP as a wrapper for the barcode object. This makes it very easy to create barcodes:

Use barcodeimage inside the SRC-Attribute of an IMG tag to serve a barcode as an image to the client. The sourcecode of barcodeimage is provided and can be used everywhere. You are allowed to make modifications if needed.

If you need to serve barcodes in a high volume, high performance and low latency environment, we offer the ActiveBarcode Service that you can also run on your own Windows server. This service does not require IIS or apache or any ASPX, ASP or PHP. It's the high performance stand alone solution for your server.

The ActiveBarcode API is also available as a REST API service that you can subscribe on a monthly basis. No software installation, update and maintenance is required if you choose to consume the ActiveBarcode REST API.

This is an example of the easy usage within your HTML code:

<img src="barcodeimage.php?code=CODE128&text=ActiveBarcode" />

This creates a barcode of the type Code 128 coding the text ActiveBarcode. This IMG tag in a simple HTML file will create this:

ActiveBarcode is written in C++. We have stress tested it under IIS and optimised it for stability and speed so that you can use this component even on high traffic servers within the address-space of IIS.
