graph.DrawString(productName, stringFornt, new SolidBrush(Color.Black), 10, 0);
graph.DrawString(productCode, barcodeFont, new SolidBrush(Color.Black), 0, 30);
graph.DrawString(productCode, stringFornt, new SolidBrush(Color.Black), 10, 70);
graph.DrawString(productPrice, stringFornt, new SolidBrush(Color.Black), 10, 90);
graph.Flush();
barcodeImage.Save(@"D:\barcode.jpg", ImageFormat.Jpeg);
barcodeImage.Dispose();
graph.Dispose();
barcodeFont.Dispose();
