System Requirements

Overview

BarcodeGenerator visual component is based on Custom Report Items technology from Microsoft which allows to add functionality of own controls to the reports.

Visual component consists from two main parts: run-time component and the design-time component. Aspose.BarCode for Reporting Services run-time component is deployed to the server and renders barcode images from data stored in RDL-file. The design-time component requires Visual Studio with installed SQL Server Data Tools, Microsoft Reporting Services Projects Extension or Microsoft Reporting Services Projects 2022 to allow designing barcode parameters visually.

Microsoft Report Builder does not allow to edit Custom Report Item component parameters and designed to edit reports with only basic RDL types. In this way it is unusable with Aspose.BarCode for Reporting Services visual component. However, it is usable with BarcodeGenerator Custom Code class with non-visual barcode generation.

In this way, to develop and deploy reports with BarcodeGenerator visual component you need SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) as a Server runtime environment and Visual Studio as development environment. Visual Studio also can preview report results without SSRS server. This article tells system requirements for the Server and for the Client environments.

Deploying Reports on SQL Server Reporting Services

SQL Server Reporting Services requires runtime version of Aspose.BarCode for Reporting Services component and allows to only render developed reports.

SQL Server Express Editions don’t support Custom Report Items technology and accordingly to this, they don’t support ***BarcodeGenerator visual component. However it supports BarcodeGenerator class with Custom Code.
