do you store these barcodes in image format or unicode, as I know, they are normally stored as unicode. You might need install some sort of barcode fonts in your system.

It is much easier if you stored the data in form of unicode, because the unicode itself is kind of barcode font. You should drop that into crystal Report.

 That's easy. What kinda linear barcode do you want? Code 39? ISSN? Code 128?... You may find 20+ common linear barcodes in Crystal Report barcode generator.

It's easy and efficient to generate linear barcodes in Crystal Report.
For example, the Code39 in crystal report.
  1. Download Barcode Generator for Crystal Report and unzip. In the demo file, there are a "BarcodeDemoData.mdb" that including "ID", "CustomerId", and "CustomerName", and a "CustomerDataSet.xsd".
  2. Open your Visual Studio, create a new web project with "ASP.NET Crystal Reports Web Site" as template;
  3. Create a new report "Using the Report Wizard", and choose "Standard", and click "OK";
  4. In "Data" form, double click "Create New Connection", and expand "ADO.NET".
  5. In "ADO.NET" form, select "CustomerDataSet.xsd" file in your downloaded package, and click "Finish" button.
  6. Back at the "Data" form. Double click "table", then click "Next". In the "Fields" form, double click or drag and drop "ID", "CustomerID", "CustomerName" to "Fields to Display" and click "Finish";
  7. In CrystalReport1.rpt, add field "Barcode" to the report Section 3;
  8. Add "BusinessRefinery.Barcode.web.dll" to your project reference in "Solution Explorer";
  9. Right click "Default.aspx" in "Solution Explorer" and choose "View Code";
  10. Copy the following code accordingly and run the project.

the problem you just mentioned is what Crystal reports barcode generator is designed to solve. By the way, this kind of barcode generators on market can almost support both 1d and 2d barcodes. And recently, the 2D barcode types are really popular. Think about it when you are choosing the barcode font.
