How to generate code128 barcode in C#

This article describes the C# implementation method of logistics barcodes, and I will share it for your reference. The specific implementation method is as follows:

The main function codes are as follows:

using System;
using ;
using ;
using ;

namespace Code
{
  class BarCode
  {
    public class Code128
    {
      private DataTable m_Code128 = new DataTable();
      private uint m_Height = 40;
      /// <summary>
      /// high      /// </summary>
      public uint Height { get { return m_Height; } set { m_Height = value; } }
      private Font m_ValueFont = null;
      /// <summary>
      /// Whether to display visible numbers if NULL does not display the number      /// </summary>
      public Font ValueFont { get { return m_ValueFont; } set { m_ValueFont = value; } }
      private byte m_Magnify = 0;
      /// <summary>
      /// Magnification      /// </summary>
      public byte Magnify { get { return m_Magnify; } set { m_Magnify = value; } }

      //The result is starc +12 +34 +56 +78 +47 +end
      internal Image GetCodeImage(string p)
      {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
      }
    }

  }
}

The call code is:

Code128 _Code = new Code128();
_Code.ValueFont = new Font("Song-style", 20);
 imgTemp = _Code.GetCodeImage("T26200-1900-123-1-0900",.Code128A);
( + "\\" + "", );

I hope that the methods described in this article will be helpful to everyone's C# programming.
