There are more than one RFID scanner attached with an computer. if more that one rfid card holder want to scan their card, their Tag mixed with each other tags.

I want that if X has started scanning and in the mid time Y user also started scanning then X user's card should be scanned first then Of Y user.

Currently X and Y User's Id/Tag mixed in one Text Box.

What I have tried:

There is only one textbox on a form. One by one scanning working well.

This depends on the RFID scanners. If they are exposed to the machine as "keyboard wedge" devices, meaning they "type" the code they can, you've got a huge problem.

1 solution

Chances are you can't, not without significant changes.
The use of a textBox implies it's being entered direct from the RFID reader as keyboard data - and there is your problem: Windows does not store the "source" of keyboard input at all, so there is no way for your program to determine which RFID scanner a particular keystroke came from - and because keyboards are autonomous devices, if two scanners start feeding the keyboard buffer at the same time, the data will be irretrievably mixed together and there is no way - no way at all - to determine which key "typed" came from which actual device.

The only way you will solve this is to talk to the scanner manufacturers and see if there is a way they can transfer the data as a packet instead of as keyboard input. Contact their tech support, and explain your full problem - they may be able to help you, but for certain, we can't!

Sorry to disturb you. My question is regarding Reading Bahrain Smartcard details inclusing Images using C#.
I have Visual studio 2017 version with 4.6 framework. Suggest me some idea. None of the solution works for me.
