Hello everybody,

I need to add a barcode in a report using Reporting Services.
I saw there are a lot of commercial components, but I was aiming at
something more... "cheaper".
Any recomendation of where to start?

Thanks a lot.

A table control is pretty easy, the matrix takes a bit more work. Chris
Hays shows a technique for the matrix:

For a table, set the table row background color with something like this:
=iif(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2,"LightSteelBlue","White")

Thanks,

Hi Steve, thanks for your reply!

I found an easier way to achieve it, through a True Type Font.
