Barcode HtmlHelper Overview

The Barcode HtmlHelper extension is a server-side wrapper for the Kendo UI Barcode widget.

Configuration

1. Add a Barcode.

   Example

       @(Html.Kendo().Barcode()
         .Name("barcode") // The name of the Barcode is mandatory. It specifies the "id" attribute of the widget.
         .Value("2346722") // Set the value of the Barcode.
         .Width(200)
         .Height(100))
   

2. Choose the appropriate symbology (encoding) from the available options. Specify it through the encoding method which accepts an enum value.

   Example

     @(Html.Kendo().Barcode()
       .Name("mascarpone")
       .Value("Mascarpone")
       .Encoding(BarcodeSymbology.Code128)
       .Width(200)
       .Height(100))
   

Reference

Existing Instances

To reference an existing Kendo UI Barcode instance, use the jQuery.data() configuration option. Once a reference is established, use the Barcode API to control its behavior.

Example

  //Put this after your Kendo UI Barcode for ASP.NET Core declaration.
  <script>
  $(function() {
      //Notice that the Name() of the Barcode is used to get its client-side instance.
      var barcode = $("#barcode").data("kendoBarcode");
      barcode.value("foo") //make sure you supply valid value for that encoding then the barcode will redraw automatically
  });
  </script>
