The dBarcode.NET Components may be operated entirely by setting or retrieving Property values programmatically.
Clicking on the dBarcode Component in the panel under the form when Visual Studio's Properties box is displayed will show the current settings for component's available properties. Most of these may be edited using the Properties box, or may have their values set from within the user's program by statements of the kind
Abcnet1.Caption="12345" Visual Basic
Abcnet1.Caption="1234"; C#
Abcnet1.set_Caption("1234"); J#
dBarcode Component properties that are set AFTER a barcode has been created may be retrieved within user's programs by statements of the kind:
x=Abcnet1.Error Visual Basic
x=Abcnet1.Error; C#
x=Abcnet1.get_Error() J#
