    Okay, make it so! Next time ask a question. – Hans Passant Jul 16 '11 at 21:27

    Look into USB HID. There are a handful of .NET libraries available for this. I've worked with this very same card reader. Once you are reading the HID data, echo it out to the console and you will see that it reads the tracks as plain text. – Brad Jul 18 '11 at 14:19

Just follow these easy steps:

  1. Read the documentation on MagTek SureSwipe Card Reader 21040140
  2. If you still don't know, ask a new question about how to go about this. Make sure it has some code.
