How to use font "Code 128" in RDLC

Question

I have a string that is passed to RDLC report as parameter. How can I make the RDLC report display it as barcode, using the Code 128 code.

You need to have the barcode font installed, there is not one by default. There are free ones out there, but more often you need to purchase them. Once you have the font, just select that for the control you want as barcoded. — DRapp, Sep 05 '17 at 18:31
