Hi, so i have this canteen system where it supposed to connect with smart card reader device. This smart card reader device then will read the employee card and display employee's number in the system. So, the issue here is that if i run it from my laptop, through local host, the device is connected. However after i publish it at the server, iis , the device is not connected.

the error is like this :
canteen-error1 — ImgBB[^]

Im using C#,MySQL and asp.net

What I have tried:

Im thinking is it because the file is missing after I publish ? It seems like the system cannot read the hc_icrf32.dll file ...

Im a newbie and an explaination would really be appreciated! Thanks
