VB.NET Code 128 Barcode Image Overview
Linear barcode Code 128 is still called USS Code 128, Code 128 Code Set A, Code 128 Code Set B, Code 128 Code Set C, ANSI/AIM 128, ANSI/AIM Code 128, Uniform Symbology Specification Code 128, Code 128A, Code 128B, Code 128C.
ISO/IEC Standard Compatibility: Complying with ISO/IEC 15417 (Second edition 2007-06-01)
Code 128 Three Code Sets
Code Set A (or Chars Set A): all of the standard upper case U.S. alphanumeric keyboard characters and punctuation characters together with the control characters, (i.e. characters with ASCII values from 0 to 95 inclusive), and seven special characters.
Code Set B (or Chars Set B): all of the standard upper case alphanumeric keyboard characters and punctuation characters together with the lower case alphabetic characters (i.e. characters with ASCII values from 32 to 127 inclusive), and seven special characters.
Code Set C (or Chars Set C): the set of 100 digit pairs from 00 to 99 inclusive, as well as three special characters. This allows numeric data to be encoded as two data digits per symbol character, at effectively twice the density of standard data.
Code 128 Special Characters
The last seven characters of Code Sets A and B (character values 96 - 102) and the last three characters of Code Set C (character values 100 - 102) are special non-data characters with no ASCII character equivalents, which have particular significance to the bar code reading device.

Guide to Generate Code 128 Barcode Image in VB.NET ASP.NET Web Programs
We provide detail user guide for how to generate Code 128 barcode iamges in ASP.NET, please see as blow (Two Methods Provided).
VB.NET Code 128 barcode generation through BarcodeLib Buildin ASP.NET Barcode Application.
Unzip the downloaded evaluation package, and copy barcode folder and its contents to your IIS folder, eg. C:\inetpub.
Create a new virtual directory in your IIS, name it "barcode", and connect it to the above "barcode" folder in inetpub.
Restart IIS for a Code 128 streaming test. Simply navigate to: http://YourDomain:port/barcode/linear.aspx?Type=2&Data=CODE128&LeftMargin=10&RightMargin=10 Above is the encoded Code 128 barcode image. If you want to customize Code 128 image width & height, please view more web stream URL parameters for Code 128 here: .NET Code 128 Barcode Property Settings.
You can also insert this Code 128 image in your aspx or html page, simply pass the url to IMG tag or src value. For example: <img src=http://YourDomain:port/barcode/linear.aspx?Type=2&Data=CODE128&LeftMargin=10&RightMargin=10 /> This method will not generate any barcode images in your IIS server side.
VB.NET Code 128 barcodes encoding through ASP.NET Web Form Controller.
Intall ASP.NET barcode controller to your barcoding project by adding reference.
Add barcode library to your Visual Studio toolbox.
Open barcode in your unzipped trial package, and copy files "linear.aspx", "linear.aspx.cs" to the aspx page where you will be generating Code 128 images.
Now you can drag LinearASPNET to your ASP.NET web site, and change Code 128 settings through properties window on the right.
Run the project and a Code 128 barcode is generated on your aspx pages.
