Barcode is hidden in reporting services - vb.net

Question

I have a report which carries a barcode , at the time of the Visual Studio preview it looks perfectly but when published to the server reporting services ( WEB ) does not show me the barcode as if hidden
This is the code I use within the report :
Public Shared Function Code39(ByVal stringText As String) As Byte()
Dim result As Byte() = Nothing
Try
result = GenerateImage("Code 3 de 9", StringToBarcode39String(stringText))
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
Return result
End Function
Public Shared Function Code128(ByVal stringText As String) As Byte()
Dim result As Byte() = Nothing
Try
result = GenerateImage("Code 128", StringToBarcode128String(stringText))
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
Return result
End Function
Public Shared Function GenerateImage(ByVal fontName As String, ByVal stringText As String) As Byte()
Dim oGraphics As System.Drawing.Graphics

oGraphics = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(tmpBitmap)
oGraphics.TextRenderingHint = System.Drawing.Text.TextRenderingHint.SingleBitPerPixel
barcodeSize = oGraphics.MeasureString(stringText, font)
oGraphics.Dispose()
End Using
Using newBitmap As New System.Drawing.Bitmap(barcodeSize.Width, barcodeSize.Height, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb)

End Using
End Using
ms = New System.IO.MemoryStream()
newBitmap.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png)

End Using
Return ms.ToArray()

Do I use assemblies , And the barcode image is kind

Answer 1

Could it be that on the server the barcode font is missing?
