Could you clarify the question. A barcode reader is the device to read an existing barcode, not to generate it.

I answered the question as it is. What, does it need clarification? Well, please see my answer... :-) And a comment below... --SA

Perhaps what you say is not what you really want. (Please see my answer :-) If this is the case, re-formulate it. --SA

You don't. Those are two entirely seperate operations. A barcode reader reads the code and hands the code message to your application code.
 
To create a barcode image, you need a library that takes the code your application generates and renders the appropriate graphic image. There are libraries all over the web that do this. Since you didn't say anything about what barcode standard you're using, it's impossible to help any further.

Hi, the reader is just used for scanning barcodes.Like the one we usually see in supermarket. And if you want to make barcode yourself, I guess you need to figure out what you need to create the barcodes. Web application? Microsoft word plug-in, excel etc...

Hi, I'm confused by your question.
 
Generally, a barcode reader is used to decode barcode. The barcode generators generates barcode.
Note that some of them support barcode font only.
 
This generator was used by our team: Macrobarcode Generator[^].
It works.

The same way as you would scan a printed document using a printer. Smile | :)

A deluxe version has three devices attached to each other: printer -> scanner -> shredder :)

Yee..e. Do you know the name of the whole thing? :-) --SA
Mika Wendelius - 9 May '12 - 16:20
Yep, with few more additional devices, it's click[^] :)

Not really. Perhaps only if you recycle shredded parer to make printing paper... :-) --SA
A bar code reader is only use to scan the bar codes already excites. And if you want to use VB.NET for barcode generating, first you need to figure out which app you want to use, asp.net, winforms, or on report solution like ssrs? Then choose one barcode component which supports VB.NET and the .NET app you want to use,install it on VS, input VB.NET codes, choose barcode type, etc. hope this helps.
