The SSRS Barcode Generator for Reporting Services allows users to create Data Matrix barcodes in RDL and RDLC files for both Report Builder and Report Designer. This software is compatible with SSRS 2008 R2 and newer versions.

The software is compatible with Report Builder 3 and up, as well as SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2 and up, and requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 and up. The script that streams data from a server to display barcodes directly into a report is compatible with Report Builder 3 or Report Designer with access to the server streaming the barcodes.
The SSRS Barcode Generator is available in several versions to meet any type of supported barcode generation. The Data Matrix package, which we are reviewing here, supports GS1-Data Matrix, ECC200 Data Matrix and other standards based on the Data Matrix symbology.
Among the other features offered by the SSRS Data Matrix Barcode Generator are support for several parameters, such as height, orientation, N-dimension and X-dimension, as well as Unicode and UTF-8 encoding for Data Matrix.
The SSRS Data Matrix Barcode Generator is available at different price points, depending on the license type that best suits your usage scenario. IDAutomation offers several Developer License options for use in commercial environments or for bundling with a custom application.
Before making a purchase, customers have the option to test an evaluation version of the software for free. The evaluation version provides static barcodes and gives insight into installation, placement and the ability to modify several parameters. It is important to note that the demo version must be removed before the purchased version is installed.
Overall, the SSRS Barcode Generator for Reporting Services with its Data Matrix package presents a convenient and reliable solution for generating Data Matrix barcodes in SSRS reports, without the need for fonts or other components, and with a range of customizable parameters available.
