Aspose.BarCode for Reporting Services adds powerful barcode generation to Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) without requiring custom rendering code or changes to existing reporting workflows. Delivered as a Custom Report Item (CRI), it enables report designers to drop barcode elements directly into RDL reports from within Visual Studio. The component supports more than 80 barcode symbologies—including linear, 2D, postal, and composite formats—and produces high‑resolution barcodes suitable for print and digital exports. Compatible with SSRS versions from 2008 R2 through 2022, it integrates naturally into enterprise reporting pipelines used for invoicing, logistics, labeling, tickets, and operational documentation.

Features

Barcode Rendering Inside SSRS RDL Reports

• Add barcodes visually in the SSRS report designer using a Custom Report Item.
• Bind barcode values to report parameters or dataset fields for dynamic content.
• Preview barcodes during RDL design and verify output before deployment. 80+ Supported Barcode Symbologies Matrix / 2D Codes: QR Code, MicroQR, rMQR, Data Matrix, Industrial Data Matrix (DPM), Aztec, Han Xin, MaxiCode, DotCode Linear / 1D Codes: UPCA, UPCE, EAN13, EAN14, EAN8, Code 128, DataBar, ITF Postal & Composite: GS1, ECI, composite barcodes, HIBC, SwissQR, Royal Mailmark High‑Resolution Output for Print & Export
• Export barcode images in PNG, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, and BMP formats.
• Print‑quality rendering ensures barcodes remain scannable after export to PDF or paper.
• Consistent results across all SSRS rendering formats. Deployment Aligned to SSRS Versions
• Supports SSRS 2008 R2, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2022.
• Choose the component build that matches your SSRS server version to maintain stable rendering.
• Microsoft SQL Server Express does not support CRIs, but barcodes can still be generated via BarcodeGenerator in custom code scenarios. Developer Workflow & Integration
• Design and preview RDL reports in Visual Studio using the Reporting Services Projects extension.
• Use MSI and configuration tools for simple installation and licensing.
• Ideal for workflows involving invoices, shipping labels, packing slips, asset tracking reports, tickets, and operational forms.

Benefits

• Seamless SSRS integration: Insert barcodes directly into RDL files without changing your reporting architecture.
• Dynamic, parameter‑driven values: Bind barcode content to datasets or parameters for automated document identification.
• Consistent print quality: High‑resolution output ensures barcodes stay readable across exports and printing scenarios.
• Enterprise‑ready deployment: Component packages match specific SSRS versions, reducing compatibility issues.
• Broad symbology coverage: Supports over 80 barcode types for enterprise workflows, including GS1, postal, and 2D formats.
• Flexible usage: Includes a Custom Report Item for visual design and a BarcodeGenerator class for custom code use cases.
