What is Neodynamic ThermalLabel SDK for .NET?

Neodynamic ThermalLabel SDK for .NET is a lightweight class library (DLL) that lets you tocreate advanced barcode labels and print them to Zebra Thermal Printers(*) by writing justpure .NET code in VB.NET or C#.

ThermalLabel SDK can be used for designing and printing from simple to complex labels layout supportingTexts, Barcodes, Graphics and Images, and Shapes like circles, ellipses, rectangles, and lines. It provides an unified object model which will allow you to createone label design and print it to either ZPL or EPL printers getting thesame output printing!

While designing your labels, you can easily preview them as raster images (BMP, PNG, GIF, JPEG or TIFF) or asAdobe PDF documents. This allows you to work on your .NET developments without the need of having a physical thermal printer for testing!

ThermalLabel SDK supports Portrait & Landscape Print Orientation, Buffering, Caching, Data Binding, Counters, Data Masking as well asXML Templates!

And with the new WebPrintJob object and the TLClientPrint utility, now a fast and flexible Cross-browser (on Windows OS) Client-side Printing support for ASP.NET websites is possible.

(*) ThermalLabel SDK generates native printer commands inZPL II® or EPL2®.

Empower your .NET apps with the ThermalLabel Visual Editor Add-on!

ThermalLabel Editor Add-on is afirst-class barcode label designer component for .NET Windows desktop apps (WinForms & WPF) which empowers your own apps by providing anend-user visual label editor!

With the ThermalLabel Editor component, you can allow your end-users to create, load, edit and save ThermalLabel objects in the form of XML template file definition or .NET object within your own .NET apps.
