Gather Smartcard Debug Information for Chilkat

See more ScMinidriver Examples

This example demonstrates how to gather information to send to support@chilkatsoft.com about your smartcard. .NET Core C#

bool success = false;

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// First, Chilkat recommends downloading the MGTEK Smartcard Minidriver Tool to get information 
// about your smartcard. 

// The tool can be downloaded from https://www.mgtek.com/smartcard

// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// 1. Select the smartcard as shown below and send Chilkat a screenshot of the basic smartcard information.
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// 
// (image:https://example-code.com/images/mgtek_screenshot.jpg/endImage)
// 
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// 2. Select the cmapfile (if present) as shown below and send Chilkat a screenshot of the CSP container map
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// 
// (image:https://example-code.com/images/cmapfile_screenshot.jpg/endImage)
// 

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

Chilkat.ScMinidriver scmd = new Chilkat.ScMinidriver();

// Reader names (smart card readers or USB tokens) can be discovered
// via PCSC List Readers or PCSC Find Smart Cards
string readerName = "Alcor Micro USB Smart Card Reader 0";
success = scmd.AcquireContext(readerName);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(scmd.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
json.EmitCompact = false;

// ------------------------------------------------------
// 3. Send Chilkat the JSON returned by GetCardProperties
// ------------------------------------------------------
success = scmd.GetCardProperties(json);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(scmd.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine(json.Emit());

// ------------------------------------------------------
// 4. Send Chilkat the JSON returned by GetCspContainerMap
// ------------------------------------------------------
json.Clear();
success = scmd.GetCspContainerMap(json);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(scmd.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine(json.Emit());
