Make SSRS reports scannable without custom rendering code

Aspose.BarCode for Reporting Services provides a visual barcode component for SSRS report design. It helps you generate consistent, scan-friendly barcodes in reports, while keeping deployment aligned to your SSRS version and environment.

Visual barcode component in the report designer
Drop a barcode item into an RDL report, set the symbology and value, and preview output during report development.
Parameter-driven values and formatting
Bind barcode content to report fields and parameters. This works well for invoices, shipping labels, and asset tracking reports.
Print-ready sizing and high resolution
Generate barcodes that stay readable after export and printing. Control resolution and keep results consistent across report exports.
Deployment matched to SSRS runtime
Use the component build that matches your SSRS version. This reduces deployment friction and keeps report rendering stable on the server.

System requirements and deployment

Aspose.BarCode for Reporting Services is designed for Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services deployments. Choose the package that matches your SSRS version. Supported SSRS versions include SQL Server 2008 R2, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2022, with corresponding .NET Framework requirements. Note that SQL Server Express editions do not support Custom Report Items, but you can still generate barcodes using the BarcodeGenerator class with SSRS custom code.

Barcodes in reports for billing, logistics, and operations

SSRS is often the last mile for operational documents. Add barcodes to invoices, packing slips, tickets, labels, and internal forms so downstream systems can scan and process them reliably.
