RFID

I need help, getting the output from the RFID reader to the password field on a web page.

I can read the tag OK in Visual Basic 2008, but sending it to the web page is my difficulty now.

Thanks for any help.

If you are getting the data into VB, you have probably already exhausted most of the help on these forums. :slight_smile:

But to offer what help I can, are you building the website or is it an existing site? This makes a world of difference. If you are building the site, you can probably do the same thing you are doing with VB in ASP. You could also build a custom control (dll) using what you have already built and include it in the web design. A clunkier method might be to write the tag data to an xml file read by the page but this would be a last resort. I can only assume that this is for something like a workplace intranet site since any other application seems odd withoput knowing more info.

Thanks,

The intention is to use an existing site ( bank, facebook, etc…) use the RFID tag to avoid entering data on the keyboard.

Quite a challnge this one!!!

This is interesting. We use a multiplexer here at work that allows us to push a button and get gage readings to auto input wherever the cursor is on the screen. This is sort of what you want to do.

I found a couple of tutorials for autoinserting datainto web pages but it requires a knowledge of how the webpage is configured and would not work generically.

Take a look at the SendKeys method. If the VB app were running in the background like a service and it received the correct data, it would have to assume you already had your cursor in the right location. If you use sendkeys to send your login followed by a tab (ascii format) followed by the password followed by either an enter or a tab enter this should work.

I’m really curious if you are able to make this work. We are about to institute an RFID entry system at work. It would be interesting to see what other things could be done with that RFID tag if it were tied to a specific operator.
