Hi,<br />
<br />
I want to implement a magnetic cardreader. The cardreader is connected to a comport.<br />
How can I listen within my application if any data is through the com-port (send by the cardreader).<br />
And how to limit the comports that are checked? (only one comport will be used).<br />
<br />
After I captured the sending of data the application must be started and the numeric value that is send, must be saved/stored for later processing (searching in a database).<br />
<br />
Please supply me with an example.<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
Stef
