'  Chilkat provides functions to get information about the smartcard, and what it contains.
'  Send Chilkat the output of the following source code:

Dim scmd As ChilkatScMinidriver
scmd.Initialize

'  Reader names (smart card readers or USB tokens) can be discovered
'  via PCSC List Readers or PCSC Find Smart Cards
Dim readerName As String = "Alcor Micro USB Smart Card Reader 0"
success = scmd.AcquireContext(readerName)
If success = False Then
    Log(scmd.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


Dim json As ChilkatJsonObject
json.Initialize
json.EmitCompact = False

'  ------------------------------------------------------
'  3. Send Chilkat the JSON returned by GetCardProperties
'  ------------------------------------------------------
success = scmd.GetCardProperties(json)
If success = False Then
    Log(scmd.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


Log(json.Emit)

'  ------------------------------------------------------
'  4. Send Chilkat the JSON returned by GetCspContainerMap
'  ------------------------------------------------------
json.Clear
success = scmd.GetCspContainerMap(json)
If success = False Then
