Shopping Receipt + QRcode VB.NET

Jack

Last Updated on November 10, 2022 by Humera Hallari

In the previous article we have made a receipt that is equipped with a barcode that can be read using a barcode scanner. Now what if we turn the barcode into a QRcode so that items can be read using QRcode scanner, especially so that it can be read through smartphones that have many QRcode scanner applications?

This can be done by adding the library “MessagingToolkit.QRCode.dll“. To create QRcode itself requires less code than when creating a barcode. So that the code generated for sales receipts with QRcode becomes like this.

Imports System.Drawing.Printing
Public Class Form1
    Dim WithEvents PD As New PrintDocument
    Dim PPD As New PrintPreviewDialog
    Dim longpaper As Integer
    Sub changelongpaper()
        Dim rowcount As Integer
        longpaper = 0
        rowcount = DataGridView1.Rows.Count
        longpaper = rowcount * 15
        longpaper = longpaper + 300
    End Sub
    Private Sub BTPRINT_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles BTPRINT.Click
        changelongpaper()
        PPD.Document = PD
        PPD.ShowDialog()
        'PD.Print()  'Direct Print

    End Sub

        pagesetup.PaperSize = New PaperSize("Custom", 250, 500) 'fixed size
        'pagesetup.PaperSize = New PaperSize("Custom", 250, longpaper)
        PD.DefaultPageSettings = pagesetup
    End Sub
