Adding barcodes to an SSRS report

The system implements barcoding by loading the barcodes as fonts on the Report Server, and then setting a report component to use the barcode font.

To add a barcode field to a report:

  1. With the report open and in Design Mode, add a text-based component to the form where you want the barcode to display.
  2. Set this component to display the element from the dataset that is to be presented as barcode.
  3. Set the font of the text field to be the desired barcode font (for example, Code39QuarterInch).
  4. Set the font size.
