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?

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.

View 2 RepliesI 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.
View 3 RepliesI 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.
View 1 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.

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?

View 5 RepliesI am new to Visual Basic. I have Visual Basic 2010 Express. I am planning to make a program that can download files from a website to put on an SD Card to Soft Mod, or hack it. I want it so that the user clicks on a radio button based on what System Menu their Wii is running on. There is currently, System Menu 4.0 or less, System Menu 4.2, and System Menu 4.3.
They also have to choose a region from a List Box. The current options are:
Region U (Americas)
Region K (Korean)
Region J (Japanesse)
Region E (European)
I also want it so that the user can choose where to download the installation files for the Wii soft Mod.
I want to have a button that when the user clicks on it, a pop up asks them where they want to download the files to appear, once they choose a location, i want it to download a file based on what they chose and i also want it so that it tells them what to do with the files and where to put them.
I'm having a tough time with fixing this problem i'm to make a program that gets information of the net and when the information changes it should show a message box.

View 10 RepliesAnyway, I'm a teacher and am writing a program that simply shows kids a word on a flashcard. There are 2 buttons, 1 to read the word and 1 to go to a new work. There are going to be 300 words. Really I'm just testing it right here. What I want to know is should I be inputting all the words right into the code like I did with "hi" and "not 1" (Don't ask. those are just the 2 random words I picked to test this out with). OR is there a better way (maybe somehow to type all the words on a text file and have the program randomly pull one of them (I don't know how to do this).
Here is the code so far:

View 2 RepliesI am working on a Credit Card Project Program. Where you can create an account by typing in an account number which then starts you out with a $1,000 credit limit and balance.I have most of all the programming done for the project. Except for the updating of the current balance when charges are made and I'm having a problem with the interest which works but only shows you the interest fee when you calculate and not the interest fee + balance due. But I wont worry about that now.
What is the method of doing this. Can I write a new function that will update the balance available based on the charges or payments made? Or can I somehow program that into the current functions?

View 5 RepliesIs 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.

I am currently working on a program for a higher or lower card game. I have my game set up and in place, however I am having trouble keeping track of the cards that have already been drawn from the deck. I am only playing with one deck and need to make sure that once a card is drawn it is placed in a discard pile and will not be drawn again. I did not post my code due to other students in my class using this forum for their version of the assignment.

View 4 RepliesOkay, so I'm doing a card game and I'm trying to set that when picturebox (PictureBox1) is clicked, a random card from 13 cards will come visible. Problem is, that when i start the program and click the picturebox, the same card will always come visible. As you can see i've put a button (Button1) which will hide every card. If I press Button2, then Button1 and then the PictureBox1 it will show differend card, but the cards which come visible are always the same.
e.g i press PictureBox1 (which will make card visible), then Button1 (which will make PictureBox1 non-enabled) and then Button2 (which will hide every card and make PictureBox1 pressable). Lets say i pressed the PictureBox1 four times and i got cards: 9, 6, 7, 3, then I close the program, start it again and press PictureBox1 again 4 times and it will show the same cards (9, 6, 7, 3). How can this be done that it will not show the same cards always?
Here's my code...

Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
