Magnetic card reader + ActiveX DLL + connect to client

Peace2u · Mar 9, 2006

Hi Everybody,

I wrote an ActiveX DLL that connects to a magnetic card reader over the usb port. The ActiveX DLL works fine if the magnetic card reader is connected to the webserver, but what I would like it to do, is that a client connects to the page over the internet and when he presses on a button, it should read his usb port and not the webserver usb port. I always get the message that the device is not connected. If I connect the card reader to the webserver, everything works fine.

Thanks for the help.

Yes we do.

<%
Set MyCardreader = Server.CreateObject("Cardreader.ReadCard")
ActionID = Request.QueryString("ActionID")
if ActionID = "" then
ActionID = "New"
end if
if ActionID = "New" then
%>
Bitte Klicken Sie den Button um Ihre Karte einzulesen.<br>
Info: Sie haben 10 sekunden um die karte durch das lesegerät zu schieben.
<form Action="Default.asp?ActionID=OK" method="Post">
<INPUT type="submit" value="Karte einlesen" id=button1 name=button1>
</form>
<%end if%>
<% if ActionID = "OK" then %>
<table border="0" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr>
<td>
SchliessanlageNr:
</td>
<td>
<% = MyCardreader.ReadCardData(150,10000) %>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<%end if%>

Sorry for spaming,

My internet explorer did not refresh the page correctly, that is why I thought it didn't accept the post.

Sorry.

The problem is that your trying to instantiate the DLL on the server when the device is actually connected to the client. You will need to use client-side scripting to create the object on the client-side browser and execute any methods needed.
