I am using iTextSharp in my application to generate a barcode. Though everything is working as I wanted, I need to display the value of the barcode under the barcode like the one showin in the attached image. Sample Barcode

Below is the C# code I use:

Barcode39 barcodeImg = new Barcode39();
barcodeImg.Code = barcodeValue.ToString();
barcodeImg.CreateDrawingImage(System.Drawing.Color.Black, System.Drawing.Color.White).Save(stream, ImageFormat.Png);

This is code I found while searching the net. Hope this solves your problem:

string prodCode = context.Request.QueryString.Get("code");
context.Response.ContentType = "image/gif";
if (prodCode.Length > 0)
{
  Barcode128 code128          = new Barcode128();
  code128.CodeType            = Barcode.CODE128;
  code128.ChecksumText        = true;
  code128.GenerateChecksum    = true;
  code128.StartStopText       = true;
  code128.Code                = prodCode;
  System.Drawing.Bitmap bm    = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(code128.CreateDrawingImage(System.Drawing.Color.Black, System.Drawing.Color.White));
  bm.Save(context.Response.OutputStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif);            
}
