Barcode Control

The CISFO:BARCODE2 control represents a barcode. The text/number of a barcode is derived from a property of the data object that is associated with the page. There are diverse types of barcodes with diverse parameters that are supported.

The barcode internally uses the Krysalis open source framework (http://www.krysalis.org/).
