  Hi All,

  I need to generate Barcodes for certain product numbers in my project. There is no option in SSRS by default and therefore I am trying to find a 3rd party solution for this issue.

  I evaluated two products and would briefly discuss the issue that I am facing with each. But before that let me point that the requirement should fulfill barcode generation not only on Report Designer but also on Report Server and there should not be any Installation requirement on Client machines.

  1) Aspose Bar Code Generator - The free trial version works fine in Report Designer (preview the report and you have your barcode), BUT as soon as I deploy the same to my local report server nothing comes up. I am not sure if this is a trial version limitation. I couldn't find any relavant information regarding this on their website. Has any one used Aspose for similar task, if so kindly advice ?

  2) Code Project - This is a free download and worked like a charm :). In report designer and and deployed to local server the barcode gets generated and all looks good. The problem is that I need for my project use and therefore need an assurance of support, freewares like this might not go well with the Client :w00t: .

  Any help/advice regarding this would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.
