I have managed to connect to the RFID USB reader using the code below... However, whenever my tag is placed near the reader. It does not run the function and produce an output of "Reading Data...". Anyone can provide me a functioning RFID coding? Below is my codes written.

if (nRet != 0)
{
string strLog = "Connect reader failed, due to: " + strException;
Console.WriteLine(strLog);
//return;
}
else
{
string strLog = "Reader connected " + strComPort + "@" + nBaudrate.ToString();
Console.WriteLine(strLog);
}
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.");
Console.ReadKey();
iSerialPort.Close();
return 0;
