You can download and install a barcode library of C# WinForms to ur system to generate 1D and 2D barcodes(including DataMatrix and PDF417) And the process is easy by simply dragging and dropping. Here's a couple of steps to generate barcode in WinForms : Open Microsoft Visual Studio. Create a Windows Forms application using the installed project template in C#. Copy KeepAutomation.Barcode.Windows.dll to your WinForms project folder (There is no need to copy the dll to .NET bin directory for Visual Studio will do so). Add BarcodeControl to your Visual Studio Toolbox. Find component BarcodeControl in the Toolbox, drag and drop it to your forms in C#.NET IDE. Drag a button to the form and double click to write the following C# demo code. And free sample code that might be helpful: C# Sample code BarCode barcode = new BarCode(); barcode.Symbology = KeepAutomation.Barcode.Symbology.UPCA; barcode.CodeToEncode = "12457182140" ; barcode.X = 2; barcode.Y = 30; barcode.TopMargin = 10; barcode.BottomMargin = 10; barcode.LeftMargin = 10; barcode.RightMargin = 10; barcode.DisplayText = true ; barcode.DisplayStartStop = true ; barcode.BarcodeUnit = KeepAutomation.Barcode.BarcodeUnit.Pixel; barcode.Orientation = KeepAutomation.Barcode.Orientation.Degree90; barcode.DPI = 72; barcode.ImageFormat = ImageFormat.Bmp; barcode.generateBarcodeToImageFile( "C://barcode-upca-csharp.bmp" );

You can create both Linear and 2D Barcodes with Aspose.Barcode for .NET . It offers many other features also.

the solutions above are both awesome.however ,such pages like C#.NET 2D PDF417 Barcode Image Creator Control and Data Matrix Barcode Image Using C# Code are easy to find if you put "qr code generating lib" in Google. However ,mostly I just tried the free trial package .The complete version is too expensive .Im wondering if someone can provide open source related?free is the requested.thx in advance

We use a third-party toolkit named leadtools that can write 2D barcodes in C#. We use it to write PDF417 barcodes, and they support writing Datamatrix and QR barcodes. We started our project from this tutorial: http://www.leadtools.com/help/leadtools/v175/dh/to/leadtools.topics.barcode~ba.topics.writingbarcodes.html
