Display a barcode on an application (FDA, not a BIP report)

Has anyone ever been able to display a barcode on a form? Not using an image, but actually using a text control (or text block) and formatting it as a barcode for display on the app.

Would love to hear what has been done
 
i have a little external server that i can pass a string to and it returns a barcode img - i've used this along with cafeone to get a barcode on the screen that you can scan.

like

serverurl/?s=12345678&l=250&w=50&e=128&t=true

gives me a 250x50 code128 barcode of 12345678 with the text displayed under the url

Did you write it in C#? wondering if I could accomplish with a windows service or something similar.
 
yes, its c# runs on iis


see attached for the code/dll

thought i had paramaterized the encoding turns out that's hardcoded.

a barcode is more than just text in a barcode font. it's actually an encoded string that is then barcoded. it's weird.
 
Hey - just wanted to circle back to this. Couldn't be happier with how that web service works. Thanks for sending that along. I had other priorities that crept in front of this project but just started on it again - works great.
