Rdlc report vertical barcodes - c#

I have a problem in rdlc report in Visual Studio 2019 printing barcodes (2of5 or 3of9). In horizontal mode they are all OK, but in vertical property (WritingMode), the barcode does not show all bars correctly.
In design mode on screen, with a static barcode, all looks OK. But when is printed in PDF or on paper the barcodes have different struct. I try set DpiX and DpiY in DeviceInfo string to 1200 but nothing change. Is this an exist any bug? Any help?
Sample of barcodes:

From my experience, when something does not visualize on rdlc, it's usually a matter of size of the control placed on the report.
If the barcode you're trying to print is too big for the control size you set, then it will be removed by rdlc.
Try to test this by putting the barcode control in an empty area of the report and making it quite big and see if the barcode appears.
The elements you provided at the moment are insufficient to understand what actually is happening.

Crystal Report Barcode 128 converter

i need to print a Barcode128 in Crystal Report, with a c# windows form.
The input string is like this:
123456-abcdef-abc
I use barcode.dll to build the formatted 128barcode:
string encodedText = BarCode.BarcodeConverter128.StringToBarcode("123456-abcdef-abc");
string path = #"D:\Projects\mypath\myreport.rpt";
ReportDocument cryRpt = new ReportDocument();
cryRpt.Load(path);
cryRpt.SetParameterValue("#inputString", encodedText);
crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cryRpt;
crystalReportViewer1.Refresh();
in crystalReportViewer1, the textbox font is "Code 128"
it shows a barcode, but it is not readable from any barcode reader.
What's wrong?
Here is the barcode generated:
Image updated! the same issue.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Here is an image demonstrating how a Crystal Report UFL renders the barcode without any font dependencies. The UFL generates the image on the fly and directs an image object Graphic Location expression to the resulting image file.
Barcode Image Generated as Image via CUT Light UFL
You have what I call a "blur code". The software in Crystal Reports, is attempting to make your image look smoother using anti-aliasing. Another concern I have is that even if the image were sharpened, it would not scan due to the bars and spaces being the wrong width.
Here is an image zoomed in on your barcode and a clear image of your string represented in Code 128B overlain. The bars and spaces do not line up. In other words, even if the symbol in your attached image were clearer, you may even have an unreadable barcode. What I suspect is that your barcode may only be showing the right half of the entire barcode and the left half is being cut off by some bounding box that is not wide enough. Your barcode.dll may also be using Code 128C on the first 6 characters to save two characters in the width of the barcode because even if you scale the top barcode to line up character-wise, the checksum character does not seem to match.
I don't know much about Microsoft technologies, so I can't help you with that, except to say that you may want to try making the font something ridiculously huge and scaling the page to see if that fixes the anti-aliasing issue.
I'm hoping you can flip a switch in Crystal Reports that will get it to stop auto-anti-aliasing, then fix the bounding box issue.

Blank space after each page when printing Crystal Report

Why I'm getting a gap/spaces after each page when I print the result of Crystal Report?
I need to print an invoice on roll paper, but crystal report using fix height and size. I tried using the minimum amount of height and make it get multiple pages. But the problem now after I attempted to print it, it creates spaces between each page.
I have tried setting the margin into zero to minimize the gap, but it doesn't affect the gap.

MS Report (rdlc) change body size

I need help to change the size of the body in a rdlc report. I cannot find anything to set the body size to A4. I selected A4 option in the report properties, but nothing changed. My only option was to manually change its sizes. Does anybody know how can I do this? Im finding rdlc interface pretty hard to understand.
You don't set the "body" size to A4, you set the "Report" outer-most level for the report. The overall PAGE of the report may default to the 8 1/2 by 11, but you can change that. Then the body will stretch and fill content to the allowed page size.

Print coordinates in VB.NET or C#

I have to print invoices from my software. I created the layout with Adobe Illustrator and saved it as a PNG image. My original idea was printing the layout as a background and then print the actual data taken from the database. I printed my layout inside my function and then I measured the various boxes of the layout for correctly placing my text. The problem is that my text is not printed in the correct position that I've found. I tried to change the margins to 0 but it seems to have no effect. I want this: if I choose to print my text line at x=10 mm and y=20mm the text must be phisically printed in this position without scaling/translating, also my background image.
Can you help me?
Try using (e.g.) e.Graphics.PageUnit = GraphicsUnit.Milimeter, and then simply specify the desired values using the Graphics.DrawString Method

Issue related to vertical line in Crystal Reports

I have Crystal Report in VS 2008. The report has group header section above the detail section and group like display in image below:
I have drawn vertical image in detail section but it displays like in following Image:
I also tried to scratched vertical line below the detail section but it in output line goes out of the box like in following Image
How can i solve this issue?
In VS2008 open this report. Select the line and go to Properties Window. There you can reduce the value of Bottom. So your line height will be reduced. Reduce the value of Bottom until the vertical line fits the horizontal line.
Hope this helps you, Leave comments if any !
in the report designer you should zoom the Section3, Details and resize the vertical line to end exactly when it reaches the horizontal line. I know it's a pain and in Crystal is not as friendly as it is in other reports designers (like in my favourite one DevExpress XtraReports) but still you can do it if you zoom and carefully handle the size of the line object.
