Reading ASCII Data From Magnetic Swipe Card Reader?
Sep 27, 2011
We 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.

I am working on writing a program that once a magnetic strip card is swiped, the number on the card is validated against a database storing information on the user. What is the best was to get the stream from the USB swipe card reader, build by Magtek, and then just pull the 9 digits I need? I have currently been using an Excel macro that searches the Excel document, but I want to get away from this system and make it more user friendly.

I have created a program in Visual Basic using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional. There is a textbox that I use in the program that when the focus is placed on it will take the data encoded on a magnetic striped card such as a driver's license or any card that has this kind of data encoded magnetically. Very simple to get the data as the program takes all of it upon the swipe without having to do really anything, however, the problem is that I don't know which declaration to use when the swipe has stopped - or the last character has been entered. Currently I am using TextBox1_textChanged as my declaration, but that is called every time each character is put into the text box. When you are swiping, this is an ongoing process until the last character is put in. So if I have a magentic card with 10 characters in it, this method will be called 10 times. Is there a declaration that I can use that only fires off whent he swipe has loaded all of the characters or some kind of loop that I can incorporate?

I 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).

I need to be able to print ID cards with magnetic stripes. This is a simple matter of putting special code characters in the text to print. I can print text to the card printer from Notepad, and the printer knows to encode the stripe. This even works printing from a report in Access, but not from a Crystal report from a VB.NET app, and not from the PrintDocument object. All these do is print the information to be encoded on the front of the card. So I need to be able to print these from a VB.NET app, but not using CR or PrintDocument.

I have been looking all over the net trying to find a program that can read data from a USB CCID card reader.
after several hours and several pages of useless info i thought maybe there is a way i could create a simple progeam in VB to read the data, so i started another long search for info also to no avail.
Does anyone know of anything like this or if its even posable?

First off, what I'm doing here is trying to read in information from a magnetic stripe card, parse it, validate certain parts and go from there. I'm working on two classes... the first is CardClass and that represents the card itself (well, the data obtained from the card). The class is CardParsingClass. This holds all the card parsing rules.
At one point in the process, I will create an instance of the CardClass. That instance gets passed into the CardParsingClass.ValidateData function:
CODE:
This function steps through each of the card parsing rules and applies the rule to cardCurrent to see if it passes (i.e., is valid).
And here we come to the meat of it.... what I'd like to do is define an event called FailedCardReadEvent. Whenever I raise the FailedCardRead event I could write to the log that it failed, modify variables in the CardClass (particularly the state of the card read variable), etc. So, the way I'm looking to use this would be something like this:
CODE:
So as shown above I'm thinking I should code a FailedCardReadEvent in the CardClass. But I don't know how to do that.
I also don't see how this is different than just calling a subroutine. If I have to manually raise the FailedCardReadEvent isn't that the same as calling a subroutine?
I know I'm missing something but I'm just not getting it. I've spent some time googling this morning and read a few things but I'm just not understanding how it all works.

I want to detect when the smart card reader is connected to the computer. I used a loop structure/timer component but these solutions takes a lot from the processor capacity. There are other solutions?
P.S: when I connect normally the smart card reader to the computer, I don't have a letter where I can access the card reader.

I am trying to use a smart card reader in 2008. All I want to do is store a simple value to the card. Not really interested in forms of security.
Cannot seem to find anywhere to start on this one and am an absolute beginner. Any tips on this one would be most useful.

I'm Alan and I'm writing a little program (beginner), but I'm stuck and I can't get any further. So I hope one of you guys can help me solve following problem.Let me explain what I'm making, so it can give you all a better perspective.
For a this project I'm receiving data via the RS232 communication port. So basically I receive bytes. These bytes are converted to a string. So for example I receive this:"BAA" this is good because I can get the correct decimal value for "B"(66) and "A"(65) using the command asc("A") in .NET.but sometimes I receive a character that exceeds the 0-127 limit for example ""(128) (please see [URL]..But now when I try to get the decimal value of "" I get 63 instead of 128. I searched the Internet and forums for an answer but I didn't find one that fits my problem.
So if it's possible, can one of you code experts explain me how to fix this problem ? It would help me a lot. I hope I described my problem clearly, but if there are some questions,

I've implemented a program that read/write data from a Smart Card. I noted that the reading/writing operation are slow (2 or 3 seconds, nothing for me, but during which I've noted that common users ar lost!).
So, I've thought to insert a progress bar to show the duration of these operation... but I don't know how to start on using of the progress bar in vb.net!
