Start Visual Studio .NET.

Start with the project that you created in Reading Barcodes Tutorial

Drag and drop a new button in Form1. Change the following properties:

Add the following code to writeBarcodeButton click procedure:

Build, and Run the program to test it. Click "Load Image" to load the image and "Write Barcode" to write a 1D UPC A barcode to the image and save it.
