    Barcodes have random letter when scanned Reporting Services

    I currently only have a temp license.  Is it normal for the barcodes to have a random letter at the end when scanned?

    Here is the example you asked for. I have around 20 barcodes on this SSRS report.

    I am using the Aspose.BarCode.ReportingServices.msi from Aspose Total RS zip.  The version of the Aspose.BarCode.ReportingServices.dll is 2.6.0.0.

    Re: Barcodes have random letter when scanned Reporting Services

    Hi,

    Thank you for your response.

    We have recently released Aspose.BarCode for Reporting Services v4.4.1 in sync with Aspose.BarCode for .NET v4.4.1. That means the base code now includes all the symbologies and some major fixes that are the part of Aspose.BarCode for .NET v4.4.1. I believe that you will not experience your said issue with latest release. Can you please download and replace the existing assemblies in Reporting Services Bin folder with the latest one, restart the Reporting Services and then test your scenario again. 

    In case your problem persists, please share the OS and SQL Server version with us. So we may test the problem under similar environment. 

    Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

    Re: Barcodes have random letter when scanned

    I have installed the new spftware but now my reports have Aspose in all the barcodes.  Do I need a new License?  The extra character is still there.  Is there anything I need to do to upgdade existing reports to use the new version of the dll in visual studio? 

    The SQL server is 2005 SP3  on Windows 2003-R2 SP2

    Re: Barcodes have random letter when scanned Reporting Services

    Hi,

    Thank you for your testing. 

    The "Aspose" watermark on your reports is due to the reason that Aspose.BarCode for SSRS is working in evaluation mode right now. If you have recently acquired your temporary license then it should work with the latest version of Aspose.BarCode for SSRS v4.4.1. You can check the validity of your license by opening it in a notepad. If your license is still valid then  I suggest you to rollback to your previous version and check if you still can see the "Aspose" on generated barcodes.

    I have tested the barcodes from your provided word file, when scanned they have extra characters at the end. Can you please explain your scenario. Are you creating the barcodes with Aspose.BarCode for SSRS and then scanning the printed reports?

    Regarding the test environment, it will take some time to setup an equivalent environment for testing. We will keep you posted on this.

    Re: Barcodes have random letter when scanned

    I have created multiple SSRS reports with multiple barcodes.  When I print the reports from SSRS or from my development laptop then scan the barcodes or print the reports directly from the report server then scan the barcodes there is an extra character in all the barcodes.  There is one barcode that scans correctly. but all the others have extra characters. 

    Before I upgraded to the latest version the Aspose watermark was not there.  here is the contents of my license file:

    Hi,

    Thank you for the elaboration.

    Please send us your license file in an archive. You can send the license by selecting the "Contact" button on your thread. Then select "Send babar raza an email" and attach the license archive with it.

    Re: Barcodes have random letter when scanned Reporting Services

    Hi again,

    Thank you for providing us your license files.

    I am afraid, I am unable to replicate your said issue regarding the licensing. I have tested your both license files with Aspose.BarCode for SSRS v4.4.1 under Windows 2003 and SQL Server 2005. 

    Although, I am able to reproduce the issue with extra letter in CodeText when generated barcode label is scanned. I have logged this issue in our tracking system under Ticket Id 33023. We will look into this matter very soon.

    Re: Barcodes have random letter when scanned

    I just recreated the issue with the license.

    I have a many reports created using Aspose Barcode 2.5.

    1. I uninstalled both 2.5 and 4.41 from my computer using control panel
    2. I deleted the dll and lic file from visual studio
    3. I then reinstalled 2.5 from Aspose.Total.RS MSI directory
    4. I then copied the license to the correct locaton
    5. I opened report in Visual Studio 2005 and the Aspose is gone from the barcode
    6. I then ran the install for 4.4.1 and opened the report in Visual Studio and now the Aspose is back in the barcode. 

    Is there an upgrade process to go from one vesion to another?  If there is can you point me to where it is in your documentation?  I would also assume that you should remove he previous reference from the 2.5 dll in the Visual Studio toolbox and add the new 4.4.1 version.  Is that also true?  I would like to uninstall the 2.5 version if that is possible since it is no longer needed.

    Hi,

    This behaviour is strange cause I have tested your both license files (as shared by you via a private message) on your required environment (Windows Server 2003, SQL Server 2005, SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio 2005) and I didn't get the evaluation watermark on Deployed reports or by getting the preview in Visual Studio. 

    It is recommended to use the Config Tool that installs with any version of Aspose.BarCode for SSRS to configure/setup the Aspose.BarCode for SSRS on any machine. To set the license, you only have to place the .lic file to ReportServer/Bin folder for Deployment and IDE\PrivateAssemblies folder for Development. Please check the Technical Article on this subject. 

    During my testing, I have placed the .lic file in only ReportServer/Bin folder and configured the Report Project to deploy on local ReportServer. I am not experiencing Evaluation watermark in either Visual Studio or deployed reports. Please give a try by deploying your reports on local. 

    There is another aspect that you have to consider, if the barcode labels on the report are generated by the control of previous version, then they may also conflict with the licensing module. To resolve this, please remove and add again the Aspose.BarCode for SSRS control from the Visual Studio Toolbox when upgrading. 

    Regarding the issue that we have logged earlier under Ticket Id 33023. The random characters at the end of your shared barcodes are actually the Checksum. If you enable the Checksum property of any checksum supported symbology (Code39 in your case) then an extra bit is added to the barcode label. You can turn it off by un-selecting the check box "Enable Checksum". Please check the attached snapshot for your reference.

    Re: Barcodes have random letter when scanned

    I can not get the licence file to work with 4.4.1.0.  I reinstalled 2.6 and it removes the watermark.  I guess we will just use that version since the new version will not work.  I have windows vista 64-bit for my development computer.  Could that be the issue?  I would like to use the latest version of your software if possible.  Is there anything else I can do to get this resolved?

    Re: Barcodes have random letter when scanned Reporting Services

    Hi,

    I am sorry for your trouble. 

    You have never mentioned Vista 64bit as your development OS. Although there aren't any known issues with this particular OS but we were testing the issue on Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2005 as per your comments here. Please give us some time to setup Vista for further testing. Also please confirm that you don't have multiple instances of SQL Server on your problematic machine. If yes then please state which instance is active at the moment.

    Meanwhile you can use the Aspose.BarCode for SSRS v2.6.0. 

    Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    Re: Barcodes have random letter when scanned

    I hvce both SQL Server 2005 and 2008 R2 on my development PC (Windows Vista 64bit). The Server (Windows Server 2003) however is only 2005.  The server is 2003 not my development PC. 

    I am developing on my development pc (Windows Vista 64bit) and previewing in visual studio and gettin the issue.  I then deploy the report to the server (Windows Server 2003) and run it on the server(Windows Server 2003) and I have the same issue.

    fyi

    Removing the checksum fixed the extra character issue.
