Integrate barcode with MS Dynamics NAV

Using crUFLBcsNet.dll in MS Dynamics NAV

To use crUFLBcsNet.dll in Microsoft Dynamics NAV:

• Register crUFLBcsNet.dll
  Open DOS prompt as Administrator and run:
  
  cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Barcodesoft\cruflbcsnet"
  C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\regasm cruflbcsnet.dll /tlb:cruflbcsnet.tlb /codebase
  
  
• Copy crUFLBcsNet.dll into the NAV add-ins folder
  (recommended: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\...\RoleTailored Client\Add-ins\).
  
  
• In the NAV development environment (C/AL), use automation to generate QRCode:

                                  myQR := myQR.CQRCode;
  
                                  // This requires bcsqrcode.ttf font
                                  codewords := myQR.Encode('1234567890');
  
                                  // Pure image, no font required
                                  barcodeBytes := myQR.Image('1234567890', 240, 240);
                                  // Save to file or stream into a BLOB
                                  BLOBField.CREATEINSTREAM(inStream);
                                  inStream.Write(barcodeBytes);
  
                                  // Artistic QR image, no font required
                                  barcodeBytes := myQR.AwesomeQR('1234567890', 'Tangerine', 'XS');                                
                                  BLOBField.CREATEINSTREAM(inStream);
                                  inStream.Write(barcodeBytes);
                              

• In the NAV development environment (C/AL), use automation to generate Data Matrix:

                                  myDTM := myDTM.CDatamatrix;
  
                                  // This requires bcsdatamatrix.ttf font
                                  codewords := myDTM.Encode('1234567890');
  
                                  // Pure image, no font required
                                  barcodeBytes := myDTM.Image('1234567890', 240, 240);
                                  BLOBField.CREATEINSTREAM(inStream);
                                  inStream.Write(barcodeBytes);
                              

• In the NAV development environment (C/AL), use automation to generate PDF417:

                                  myPDF417 := myPDF417.CDatamatrix;
  
                                  // This requires bcspdf417.ttf font
                                  codewords := myPDF417.Encode('1234567890');
  
                                  // Pure image, no font required
                                  barcodeBytes := myPDF417.Image('1234567890', 240, 240);
                                  BLOBField.CREATEINSTREAM(inStream);
                                  inStream.Write(barcodeBytes);
                              

• In the NAV development environment (C/AL), use automation to generate GS1128 barcode:

                                  myLinear := myLinear.CLinear;
  
                                  // This requires UpcEanM font. Don't forget the parentheses and AI prefixes.
                                  codewords := myLinear.GS1128('(17)190508(90)50921');
                                  
                                  // Pure image, no font required
                                  barcodeBytes := myLinear.GS1128Image('(17)190508(90)50921', 480, 240);
                                  // Save to file or stream into a BLOB
                                  BLOBField.CREATEINSTREAM(inStream);
                                  inStream.Write(barcodeBytes);
                              

Additional TIps:

• Ensure the Barcodesoft font (e.g., bcsqrcode.ttf, bcsdatamatrix.ttf, UpcEanM.ttf) is installed on all client and report servers.
• The .NET Framework version used to register crUFLBcsNet.dll must match the version running NAV.
• You can automate barcode generation inside NAV reports, pages, or codeunits.
• All barcode classes support both string encoding and bitmap image generation methods.
• For cloud or containerized NAV environments, use the image methods instead of fonts to ensure platform independence.
