PLANET information:

PLANET, short for Postal Alpha Numeric Encoding Technique, is designed by the United States Postal Service to allow faster sorting and routing of mail. It is a linear numeric- only barcode with a fixed length. The PLANET barcode is able to encode 12-digit or 14-digit code. Unlike other linear barcode, PLANET barcode actually encodes data in the height of the bars instead of in the width of the bars and spaces. The PLANET barcode is constructed of service type ID represented by the first 2 digits, customer ID represented by the next 9 or 11 digits and check sum digit represented by the 12th or 14th digit.

.NET PLANET generator for Winforms encodes:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

According to PLANET specification, this generator encodes 11 or 13 digits only, excluding the last checksum digit.

Create USPS Planet barcode using .NET Windows Forms Barcode SDK

Install and register .NET barcode generator control in .NET projects for Planet 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 PLANET barcodes with C# class

BarCode barcode = new BarCode();

aa.Symbology = Symbology.Planet;

aa.Data = "75247524752";

aa.BarcodeImageWidth = 175;

aa.BarcodeImageHeight = 50;

aa.X =1;

aa.Y = 80;

aa.AutoResize = true;

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

Generate, print PLANET 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.Planet

barcode.Data = "65186518651"

barcode.BarcodeImageWidth = 175

barcode.BarcodeImageHeight = 50

barcode.X = 1

barcode.Y = 60

barcode.AutoResize = True

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