Generate POSTNET in VB.NET class:

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


// POSTNET encoding set

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


// POSTNET valid character set, encode 5-digit, 6-digit, 9-digit or 11-digit length, excluding a checksum digit

barcode.Data = "50195019501"


// POSTNET basic settings, including sizing, color, etc

barcode.UOM = Avapose.Barcode.Encoder.ClassLibrary.UnitOfMeasure.Pixel

barcode.X = 1

barcode.Y = 60

barcode.BearerBarStyle = 0

barcode.BarcodeImageWidth = 175

barcode.BarcodeImageHeight = 50

barcode.Angle = Avapose.Barcode.Encoder.ClassLibrary.Angle.Degree0

arcode.AutoResize = True


// POSTNET background & foreground color set

barcode.ForegroundColor = Color.Coral


// POSTNET text releted seeting, including color, font, margin

barcode.ShowText = True

barcode.TextColor = Color.Black

barcode.TextFont = New Drawing.Font("Arial", 10.0F, Drawing.FontStyle.Bold)


// POSTNET barcode image format set

barcode.draw(".../postnet.png")
