Initializing the Barcode

1. Add the Barcode.

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

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

Functionality and Features

The Barcode supports a set of encoding types.

Referencing Existing Instances

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

  // Place the following after the declaration of the Barcode for ASP.NET Core.
  <script>
  $(function() {
      // The Name() of the Barcode is used to get its client-side instance.
      var barcode = $("#barcode").data("kendoBarcode");
      barcode.value("foo") // Supply a valid value for that encoding. Then, the Barcode will redraw automatically.
  });
  </script>
