ISSN information:

ISSN, short for International standard Serial Number, is drafted as an ISO International Standard in 1971 and finally demonstrated in 1975. Unlike ISBN, ISSN is use for the periodical publishers. Consisting of 8 digits, ISSN is started with ISSN, and the two four-digit numbers. The last digit is a check digit, usually represented by 0-9 of an X.

.NET ISSN generator for Winforms encodes:

  • 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
According to ISBN specification, this generator encodes 9 digits only, starting with "977" only.

Development Environment

  • Windows Forms Application (design-time and runtime support)

  • Console Application (runtime support)

  • Windows Service (runtime support)

  • Class Library (runtime support)

Generate ISSN barcode image using .NET Forms Barcode Generator SDK

Install and register .NET barcode generator control in .NET projects for ISSN barcode generation
  • Download Avapose.com trial package and unzip

  • Copy Avapose.Barcode.Encoder.WinForms.dll to your Winforms project folder
    (Do not copy .dll to .NET bin directory, Visual Studio will do so.)

  • Add Avapose.Barcode.Encoder.WinForms.dll to your Winforms project reference

  • Add Winforms Control to your Visual Studio Toolbox.

  • 1. Right click .NET Visual Studio Toolbox, select menu Choose Items...

    2. In "Choose Toolbox Items" form, click button "Browse...", and select dll
        Avapose.Barcode.Encoder.WinForms.dll

Generate, print ISSN barcodes with C# class

BarCode barcode = new BarCode();

aa.Symbology = Symbology.ISSN;

aa.Data = "752075207";

aa.BarcodeImageWidth = 175;

aa.BarcodeImageHeight = 50;

aa.X =1;

aa.Y = 80;

aa.AutoResize = true;

aa.draw("...\issn_csharp.gif");


Generate, print ISSN barcodes with VB.NET class

Dim barcode As Avapose.Barcode.Encoder.ClassLibrary.BarCode = New Avapose.Barcode.Encoder.ClassLibrary.Barcode

barcode.Symbology = Avapose.Barcode.Encoder.ClassLibrary.Symbology.ISSN

barcode.Data = "651465146"

barcode.BarcodeImageWidth = 175

barcode.BarcodeImageHeight = 50

barcode.X = 1

barcode.Y = 60

barcode.AutoResize = True

barcode.draw("...\issn_vb.gif")
