Get barcode image as SVG image file

In This Topic

Here is C#/VB.NET code that demonstrates how to generate barcode in vector form as SVG image file.

/// <summary>
/// Returns a barcode in vector form as Vintasoft.Barcode.BarcodePathData object.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="barcodeType">Barcode type.</param>
/// <param name="barcodeValue">Barcode value.</param>
/// <param name="svgFilename">The filename of SVG file to save.</param>
public static void SaveBarcodeAsSvgImage(Vintasoft.Barcode.BarcodeType barcodeType, string barcodeValue, string svgFilename)
{
    // create the barcode writer
    using (Vintasoft.Barcode.BarcodeWriter barcodeWriter = new Vintasoft.Barcode.BarcodeWriter())
    {
        // set barcode writer settings
        barcodeWriter.Settings.Barcode = barcodeType;
        barcodeWriter.Settings.Value = barcodeValue;

        // generate SVG file
        string svgFile = barcodeWriter.GetBarcodeAsSvgFile();
        
        // save SVG file
        System.IO.File.WriteAllText(svgFilename, svgFile);
    }
}
