Add the Barcode to a Report

  1. Drag the Barcode item from the report controls toolbox tab and drop it onto the report.

  2. Set the control’s Symbology property to SSCC.

  3. Assign a numeric value composed of 17 digits to the Text property. If the numeric value contains less than 17 digits, it is padded with zeros at the beginning so that the string value of the Text property contains exactly 17 characters. A numeric value with 17 digits is left intact. If 18 digits are specified, the last digit is truncated. A value with more than 18 digits causes an error.

  4. Specify common barcode properties.
