About this skill

Syncfusion Blazor Barcode Generator

Syncfusion's Blazor Barcode Generator package (Syncfusion.Blazor.BarcodeGenerator) provides four components for generating barcodes in Blazor applications:

Component Use For
SfBarcodeGenerator 1D linear barcodes (Code39, Code128, Codabar, etc.) plus GS1 Code 128, ITF-14, and the full GS1 DataBar family
SfQRCodeGenerator QR codes with optional logo embedding, plus GS1 QR Code (EnableGS1)
SfDataMatrixGenerator 2D Data Matrix codes for compact encoding, plus GS1 Data Matrix (EnableGS1)
SfDotCodeGenerator High-density dot-matrix DotCode symbols, plus GS1 DotCode (EnableGS1)

All four work in Blazor Server, Blazor WebAssembly, and Blazor Web App (.NET 8+).


When to Use This Skill

  • User needs to render or display a barcode in a Blazor component
  • User asks about QR code generation (e.g., product links, 2FA, contact cards)
  • User needs Data Matrix codes (pharmaceutical, logistics, label printing)
  • User needs DotCode symbols for high-speed industrial/inkjet printing or product serialization
  • User is configuring SfBarcodeGenerator, SfQRCodeGenerator, SfDataMatrixGenerator, or SfDotCodeGenerator
  • User asks about exporting a barcode as an image (JPG/PNG) or Base64
  • User asks about barcode types, error correction, checksums, or validation events
  • User is embedding a logo in a QR code
  • User asks about GS1 standards or GS1-compliant barcodes: GS1 Code 128, ITF-14, GS1 DataBar (Omnidirectional, Stacked, Stacked Omnidirectional, Limited, Expanded, Expanded Stacked), GS1 QR Code, GS1 Data Matrix, or GS1 DotCode
  • User is building retail, logistics, warehouse, inventory management, product traceability, or supply chain labeling features
  • User asks about GS1 Application Identifiers (AIs), FNC1 separators, EnableGS1, or GTIN/SSCC check-digit calculation

                    Value="SYNCFUSION">
</SfBarcodeGenerator>

QR Code

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.BarcodeGenerator

<SfQRCodeGenerator Width="200px" Height="200px"
                   Value="https://www.syncfusion.com">
</SfQRCodeGenerator>

Data Matrix

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.BarcodeGenerator

<SfDataMatrixGenerator Width="200" Height="150"
                       Value="SYNCFUSION">
