I am new to.net and I would like to identify if card is detected or removed using winscard's SCardGetStatusChange. But it is returning retcode = -2146435063 which when converted to Hex would give me 0x80100009 = SCARD_E_UNKNOWN_READER. I just based my code from pinvoke.net
Here's sample of my code
Public Structure SCARDREADER_STATE
Public szReader As String
Public pvUserData As IntPtr
Public dwCurrentState As Integer
Public dwEventState As Integer
Public cbAtr As Integer
Public rgbAtr() As Byte
End Structure
<DllImport(winscarddll, CharSet:=CharSet.Ansi, EntryPoint:="SCardGetStatusChangeA")>
Public Shared Function SCardGetStatusChange(ByVal hContext As IntPtr, ByVal dwTime As Integer, ByRef rgReaderState As SCARDREADER_STATE(), ByVal cReaders As Integer) As Integer
End Function
And in my form.
Public Function gAtr(ByVal hContext As IntPtr, ByVal reader As String) As String
Dim ret As Integer
Dim rs(0) As WinscardFun.SCARDREADER_STATE
Console.Write(reader)
'ReDim rs(0).rgbAtr(0 To 35)
'rs(0).dwEventState = &H0
'rs(0).rgbAtr = Nothing
'rs(0).cbAtr = 0
rs(0).szReader = reader ' "\\\\?PnP?\\Notification"
rs(0).dwCurrentState = SCARD_STATE_UNAWARE
ret = WinscardFun.SCardGetStatusChange(hContext, 100000000, rs, 1)
Console.Write("Ret=" + ret.ToString + vbCrLf)
Console.Write("Reader:" + rs(0).szReader + vbCrLf)
If ret = 0 And rs(0).cbAtr > 0 And rs(0).rgbAtr IsNot Nothing Then
test = "Success"
Else
test = "Fail"
End If
Return test
End Function
The output is
Ret=-2146435063 Reader:ACS ACR1222 3S PICC Reader PICC 0 Fail
For future researcher/developer.
In SCardGetStatusChange, I just changed the SCardReaderState() to SCardReader
<DllImport(winscarddll, EntryPoint:="SCardGetStatusChangeA", CharSet:=CharSet.Ansi)>
Public Shared Function SCardGetStatusChange(ByVal hContext As IntPtr, ByVal dwTime As Integer, ByRef rgReaderState As SCARDREADER_STATE, ByVal cReaders As Integer) As Integer
End Function
Then added the <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst:=36)>
in the initialization of rgbAtr.
Hope this will helps.
