The code submitted by "makaveil jojo" is sufficient to generate barcodes and will show you how simple it is to generate the barcode using any ready sdk.
There are lots of great and easy sdks that support barcodes, the support ranges from basic support like ZBar to advanced support like leadtools.
If you need more details or samples, the internet is full of articles of how to generate barcodes.

Regarding saving to the database, once you generate the barcode you can easily save it to the database.

Above what those two friends said, a third party tool does make it much easier for you. Like a barcode font or barcode control. It denpends on what type of barcode you are going to generate. There are QR code C# control, Code 39 C# control, etc.

Some sample code of generating barcode in C# for you:

     using KA.Barcode.Bean;
     BarCode barcode = new BarCode();
     barcode.Symbology = KeepAutomation.Barcode.Symbology.Code39;
     barcode.CodeToEncode = "111222333";
     barcode.ChecksumEnabled = true;
     barcode.X = 1;
     barcode.Y = 50;
     barcode.BarCodeWidth = 100;
     barcode.BarCodeHeight = 70;
     barcode.Orientation = KeepAutomation.Barcode.Orientation.Degree90;
     barcode.BarcodeUnit = KeepAutomation.Barcode.BarcodeUnit.Pixel;
     barcode.DPI = 72;
     barcode.ImageFormat = System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif;
     barcode.generateBarcodeToImageFile("C://barcode-code39-csharp.gif");
        
     /* Output barcode images to different objects
     barcode.generateBarcodeToStream("Stream Object");
     barcode.generateBarcodeToGraphics("Graphics Object");
     barcode.generateBarcodeToGraphics("HttpResponse Object");
     */
