View 2 RepliesWe have the customers credit card number on file which we use simply to identify them when they swipe at our computer. The problem i'm running into is that when they swipe their card in the card reader (Magtek mini usb) it outputs the data as ASCII which looks something like %B followed by the credit card number in whatever textbox i have the program focused on. I'm sure i could just search the textbox for any 16 character number string and assume that is their card number, but i was just curious if there is some best practice to decript the ASCII output from the magnetic card reader.

How do I really use data reader in vb.net. I'm using odbc to connect mysql and vb.net. Function I declared on a module:
Public Function form2search(ByVal drugname As String) As OdbcDataReader
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM drug WHERE Drug_name LIKE'%" & drugname & "' "
Return cmd.ExecuteReader
End Function
[Code] .....
I see a result, but it only loads the first item on the database. I've put this code in the text_changed event. What's the proper way of doing this? And what's wrong with the 2nd code, why is it only loading the first data. As you can see the con is the module where I declared the function. Then I created an object of it in the form.

Example below of two chunks of code that I should be able to put in some type of loop and increment a value for my sqlstring and textbox output.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to use the eID SDK (for using the belgian ID-card) in VB. It's supported but I can't get it to work. I have never worked with sdk's before. I did manage to get it to work in c++ in console but I really need it in visual basic. Also the VB examples that come with the sdk are made in an older version of visual studio and when my version tries to convert them they don't work. I want to use the sdk to see when a card is inserted into the reader and to read out the data. (both i got to work in c++ console).
