i have to develop a software for payroll where in the employee wants to give magnetic strip cards to employees i have done teh reading part which is quite simple but my prob. is they have a Zebra P330i printer the printing on the card front and back is fine but writing the data on magnetic strip is casuing a prob. ~1 and then what i want to write but when i type this it just prints on the front of the card nothing inside the card.
[URL] I am using the magtek Intellistripe 65 insert card reader and i want to connect the device thru my POS application developed in .NET. I have also tried the sample VB code provided by magtek. But i am not able to access the device.
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 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.
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 trying to make a program that can get information form a magnetic card reader to fill in a text box like an id and/or password. or make a new account. i am using a MagTek SureSwipe Card Reader 21040140?
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?
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'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!
I am totally new to VB and I'd like to know, for example, when a user clicks on "Print" in the menu strip on the keyboard should automatically press "Ctrl+P", because the original print dialog, and the WebBorwser print dialog is toootaly different.
"Form1" has a ToolStripContainer1.TopToolStripPanel which contains a ToolStrip with buttons. The buttons work on ONE click when "Form1" is active.If I click on another window and then return to "Form1" the ToolStrip buttons take TWO clicks to activate.The first click returns focus to "Form1" and the subsequent click fires the button event.I want the buttons to work on the first click and not require two clicks.Note that ordinary buttons on "Form1" that are not part of the ToolStrip work on the first click when returning from another window/form?
Is it possible to capture the raw signal from a WiFi card in the same way you can capture the signal from a sound card? (I already found code for working with a sound card and for drawing spectrograms) I'm wondering because it would make a cool radio-type project. I'd prefer a solution that integerates well with .net (VB or C#).My basic goal is to capture the ambient radio waves and build a primative "telescope" of sorts. Using the built in computer hardware is just the easiest way to accomplish this. If you have any other suggestions about how to accomplish this goal in a different way please post it as an answer also.

my company provides security card for certain seller agents that sold our products to customers. they need to claim their point or login through PDA application by scan barcode or swipe magstripe (magnetic stripe). i had written the code for barcode scanner, and i had written the code for magstripe reader, but it didn't need any comm control at all. all i had to do was focusing on textbox that showed data had read.i had device to write data, it is MSRE206 with serial port. now i need code in VB to write data to magstripe. i didn't have any experience with comm control in VB, so i didn't know where i have to start?how to write a program in VB so that i can write data to a magnetic stripe on cards?
I have an INI file that contains several of these following entries.The Section names are all labled ASSET_CONTROLS_#.[code]The "Name" field should be added to the ContextMenuStrip control as a ToolStripMenuItem.If there is a value in "SubMenuNames" in the INI file, the ToolStripMenuItem created from the "Name" field, should have a DropDownItem created under it. I have separated multiple SubMenuNames with a SemiColon, so a loop would be used to create the separate menu items.Command and Parameters are to be used with the Process.Start function when the Menu Item is clicked. What is the best way to code this? I have been trying to do the event handling for the menu items for hours now and can't get it right. I basically want to call a procedure and pass the "Command & Parameter" values to it to use the Process.Start function.[code]
