What the hell are you smoking?? FileSystemWatcher to deal with a keyboard-based card reader??
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, when I open notepad and swipe a card, the information on the card is printed automatically in plain text.(Windows installed standard drivers).
He can access the data as if it were a file. I didn't see a reference to the keyboard-based interface

Really? What file?? These things don't write to files. Neither do barcode scanners, laser scanners, or anything else. Since these devices do not know anything about file systems or Windows or UNIX or Linux or MacOS, there's really no way for them to write to files.

The only way anything can show up in Note like he described is if the device worked like a keyboard.

Most card readers / scanners operate as a keyboard simply typing the read information onto the control / window that has focus.
Check the API of your card reader, surely the vendor released some information.

Thank you very much .... I suppose I will abuse the fact that it works like a keyboard... with the same events, etc. This fact works well for me !
Thanks for your help !

OK, so what I basically did was to abuse the fact that the card reader functions like a keyboard. I basically obtain all the devices on the computer and display them the the user. The user can then select which device is the card reader. I intercept all the messages coming from the card reader then, and set focus to the correct text box (etc) as required.
A nice little thingy that I saw was, that most magnetic stripe cards end with the "return" character. So when it hits the last character, I can simply test for a return (enter), and it will fire off events that obtain my required data from the database...
Thanks for all the help !
MUCH appreciated !
PS: For help, email me or send me a msg, I'll gladly help.

If you're seeing the data in Notepad, this mean the card reader is acting like a keyboard. It'll type whatever the card contents are into whatever control has the focus.

It sounds as though you are trying to do the same thing[^] I am.
Using the generic HID reader from this page[^], and feeding it the vendor id and product id (which can be found in device manger), I get "The device is a system keyboard. Windows 2000 and Windows XP obtain exclusive access to Input and Output reports for this[sic] devices. Applications can access Feature reports only."
Which, frankly, is a bit of a blow.
Maybe there is another possible approach?

Since you can use DirectX to highjack a normal keyboard, maybe it works here as well?

Yes you can ... this works brilliantly !

Read CG's image processing articles[^]. There's a lot of information there. You might find what you need.

How do I change this code to VB
Address shipAdd = getUserAddress();
upsRates uRate = readXML(getXMlhttp(sourceAddress, shipAdd, ddlUPS.SelectedValue));
if (uRate.StatusCode == "1") // Status OK
{
UPSCharges = uRate.Rate;
Label2.Text = UPSCharges;
Session["ShippingType"] = ddlUPS.SelectedItem.Text;
}
else
{
ddlUPS.SelectedIndex = 0;
UPSCharges = "0";
Label2.Text = UPSCharges;
Label2.Text = uRate.Error;
}
}
else
{
Label2.Text = "";
UPSCharges = "0";
}
try
{
Session["shipping"] = Convert.ToDecimal(UPSCharges);
double shp = Convert.ToDouble(Session["shipping"].ToString());
double amt = Convert.ToDouble(Session["amount"].ToString());
//Array grandtot=grandtotallbl.Text.Split('$');
//grandtotallbl.Text ="Grand Total : $ " + Convert.ToDouble(grandtot.GetValue(1).ToString() + shp);
grandtotallbl.Text = "Grand Total: $ " + Convert.ToDecimal((shp + amt)).ToString();
}

Lots of ways[^].
You can also do that manually. Even better, create a dll and use it in VB code.

Why do you want to convert to that other language?
Jokes apart, and tol is a joke, all .NET compiles to the same bytecode and once you have a .dll, it all becomes language agnostic.

Just a stab in the dark, but dop you have a file who's contents START with the characters BP?
If not then that's the problem.

Working on the assumption that Content is all of the file then a wild card of %FIND_THIS% would return every file containing FIND_THIS. Have a little read on how wildcards work; it should be reasonably clear.

Hi friends,
I am developing one application - in which on click event of a button, I am calling several functions and other sub-routines (e.g. creation of CSV file, Copy them to SQL table, load them to Datagrid) - now my problem is that when there are loads of data - it takes considerable time until grid fills with the data. So I need to execute progressbar or any other animation - during that idle time.
I read something about background worker in C# - but I could not fit it into my requirement any how.... so kindly help, it would be fine if some other alternative to the same requirement
thanks a lot,
Jeet

You must fill the DataGrid on the UI thread, so if that is what is taking the time, threading won't help. If the other work is taking an appreciable amount of time, then BackgroundWorker is a good choice.
This might help: http://www.albahari.com/threading/part3.aspx#_BackgroundWorker[^]
