To print
Aztec barcode in Visual Basic,
you need Barcodesoft BCSAztec.ttf true type font and cruflbcs.dll .
If you download and install the demo of Barcodesoft
Aztec font on your
computer, you will find crUFLBCS.dll from
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Barcodesoft\Fontutil\" folder.
If you don't find cruflbcs.dll on your computer, please download it from
Aztec Barcode VB .
crUFLBCS.dll is a COM object with IAztec interface.
You can find the detailed information of IAztec interface from readme.html.
To call the methods of IAztec interface, you can use either Late Binding or Early Binding.
Late Binding
Late binding is used when type information of an object is unavailable at compile time.
Your codes using late binding to print Aztec barcode in Visual Basic run slower than using early binding.
However, your codes are version-independent as long as COM interface and method parameters remain unchanged.
Here is a sample using late binding to print
Aztec barcode in Visual Basic.
Open LateBindingSample.frm with Visual Basic from this folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Barcodesoft\aztecfont\ .
