I am attempting to take a string and convert it into a code 128 barcode in vb.net. I am a novice programmer and was wondering what some people thought would be the best design practices for accomplishing this.

A simple google search has yielded a few seemingly free solutions to this. http://www.onbarcode.com/vb_net/code-128-generator.html for example

I could also attempt to do this myself, but I'm not sure the exact method of converting strings into barcodes. I am going to keep looking into this but if someone knew this off the top of their head already it could save me some time.

Thanks in advance

Have a look at the following codeproject page - Barcode Image Generation Library

This allows you to generate a barcode image in your desired format from a string.

It should be enough to get you started
