If you're interested in using a commercial product for this, the LEADTOOLS SDK facilitates barcode creation of this symbology.
using (RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs())
{
   int resolution = 300;
   BarcodeWriter writer = new BarcodeEngine().Writer;

   BarcodeData data = BarcodeData.CreateDefaultBarcodeData(BarcodeSymbology.EAN13);
   data.Value = "Your value here";
   writer.CalculateBarcodeDataBounds(LeadRect.Empty, resolution, resolution, data, null);

   // Create an image to write the data to
   LeadRect pixels = data.Bounds;
   using (RasterImage image = RasterImage.Create(pixels.Width, pixels.Height, 1, resolution, RasterColor.FromKnownColor(RasterKnownColor.White)))
   {
      // Write the barcode with default options
      writer.WriteBarcode(image, data, null);

      // Save it
      string outFileName = Path.Combine("ean13.tif");
      codecs.Save(image, outFileName, RasterImageFormat.Tif, 1);
   }
}
They have online documentation available as well.

You can install Spire.Barcode and use the below code to generate EAN 13 barcode with c# easily.
BarcodeSettings settings = new BarcodeSettings();
settings.Type = BarCodeType.EAN13;
settings.Data = "123456789012";
settings.UseChecksum = CheckSumMode.ForceEnable;
settings.ShowTextOnBottom = true;
settings.TextAlignment = StringAlignment.Center;
BarCodeGenerator generator = new BarCodeGenerator(settings);
Image image = generator.GenerateImage();
image.Save("EAN-13.png", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);

Check below.
ean13.Code = Convert.ToString(BarcodeEAN.GetBarsEAN13(row.Cells[12 - 1].Value.ToString()));

I try this
ean13.Code = Convert.ToString(BarcodeEAN.GetBarsEAN13(row.Cells[12].Value.ToString()));

Error is Index was outside the bounds of the array

How much parameters can take overload this method?
0

it displaying error because there no BarcodeEAN.GetBarsEAN13 method which takes 3 parameters. Please check it. There are method which takes one or two or more then 3 parameters but not 3 parameters. Method GetBarsEAN13 is not implemeted which takes 3 parameters in BarcodeEAN class.
