Remarks
For barcode standards that have length requirements then zeros will be appended in-front of the number if needed to pad the value to the needed length.
Dim b as BarcodeGenerator = new BarcodeGenerator()
Dim data as UInt64 = 12345678
b.QuietZoneIncludedInPadding = true
b.Padding = 10
b.BarWidth = 1
b.IncludeLeadingAndTralingBrackets = true
Image = b.GenerateToPicture(BarcodeGenerator.BarcodeType.Code128, data, true)
Note that for some barcode standards like the Code128 for example then when passing in number instead of string then the Barcode is optimised in different way and gives different and shorter barcode containing same data.
