DevExpress Barcode Generation API

The Barcode Generation API is a non-visual .NET library for generating barcode images programmatically. It supports over 30 barcode symbologies — 1D and 2D — and can export barcode images to PNG, BMP, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, and PDF formats. The primary namespace is DevExpress.Docs.Barcode; a legacy namespace DevExpress.BarCodes is also available but is not recommended for new development.
