Welcome to the forums.

What is a Mifare Reader?

Welcome to VBForums

I have moved this thread from the Application Deployment forum, as that is for questions about installing your program etc.

The SDK you have will contain explanations/examples of how to interact with the device, and nobody will be able to help with that part unless they also have the device themselves.

If you have specific questions on general usage of VB we can help, but I don't think there is much we can say about using the device.

Actually this thread is not about installing but about creating a project that uses the reader...

Did you get anywhere with this project as I have to do the exact same thing????

I need to read & write data to/from a smart card using a ACR120 (contactless smart card reader).

@ kerek2 : This is for ACR122 but you can see what the SDK contains... http://www.nfc-reader.com/acr122-sdk.php

Like Si mentioned, you will have to go thru the SDK and figure it out yourself... or wait till someone who has worked with it comes around which I doubt won't be pretty soon...

Hi, kerek2,

I know that it is very late to view this post. Haha... just recently touch with smart card programming development. Need your help if your mifare card development is done last few years. The story is like that, I have a smart card (mifare) devide so called ACR120S recently. The overall testing is ok. But I dono how to apply it on my project. What I want is the coding connection between vb.net and the devide. Other programming language also can. Hope to see you around and get your attention. Thx

Hi Kerek2,
what is your project specifically?
The Smartcard hardware requires high to low level programming as its very basic components. In the end the only data I could saved was a string to the registers which I truncated/detruncated when I wanted to save and load. Each decimal was a code which pointed to something else in the software.

You should have got somesample codes which loads and saves to the mifare card?

Hi starydynamo,

It is nice that you are still around asking about smart card. Well, Im the new member of this forum and also the beginner of smart card programming. Based on your thread, I knew that you have same smart card product with me. So i would like to ask little help from you. Can you help or guide me on how to connect mifare and vb.net????
