The iTextSharp library, while ostensibly for creating creating PDFs, also has a barcode generation library that includes Code39.

Once you add a reference to the DLL, it's as simple as:

Barcode39 code39 = new Barcode39();
code39.Code = "Whatever You're Encoding";

Oops, that's C#, but you get the idea. Once created, you can render an image in just about any image format and use it as you wish.
