How to add an image and text to the same cell?

I am generating bar codes in a table.

Now I want to insert the student code under the bar code label. How can I do this?

My code currently looks like this:

foreach (GridViewRow row in grdBarcode.Rows)
{
    DataList dl = (DataList)row.FindControl("datalistBarcode");
    PdfContentByte cb = new PdfContentByte(writer);
    PdfPTable BarCodeTable = new PdfPTable(6);
    BarCodeTable.SetTotalWidth(new float[] { 100,10,100,10,100,10 });
    BarCodeTable.DefaultCell.Border = PdfPCell.NO_BORDER;
    Barcode128 code128 = new Barcode128();
    code128.CodeType = Barcode.CODE128_UCC;
    foreach (DataListItem dli in dl.Items)
    {
    String barcodename= ((Label)dli.FindControl("lblBarCode")).Text;
    string studentcode= ((Label)dli.FindControl("lblStudCode")).Text;
    code128.Code = "*" + productID1 + "*";
    iTextSharp.text.Image image128 = code128.CreateImageWithBarcode(cb, null, null);
    BarCodeTable.AddCell(image128);
    BarCodeTable.AddCell("");
}
doc.Add(BarCodeTable);

My present Output looks like this:

Bar codes in a table

I want to add the Student code under the bar code label. Please show me a way to achieve this, or let me know how to pass more than one parameter through the Addcell() method.

You are adding the Image object directly to a PdfPCell like this:

iTextSharp.text.Image image128 = code128.CreateImageWithBarcode(cb, null, null);
BarCodeTable.AddCell(image128);

The second line is a short cut for something that looks like this:

PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell();
cell.SetImage(image128);
BarCodeTable.AddCell(cell);

This cell contains nothing more than an image. There is no room for text.

If you want to combine an image and text, you need something like this:

PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell();
cell.AddElement(image128);
Paragraph p = new Paragraph("Student name");
p.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
cell.AddElement(p);
BarCodeTable.AddCell(cell);
