I have installed hyperterminal for my RFID. When I scan the RFID, the tag is shown on the hyperterminal. I want to create a program using VB.NET that will function like the hyperterminal. When I scan the RFID, data will show and eventually, saving it on the database for further use. Any codes sir? Thanks.

What port is the RFID reader connected to in Hyper Terminal? – Eugen Rieck Feb 14 '12 at 15:08

@EugenRieck. COM15 sir. It functions well sir. Do you want me to post the port settings? – Genesis John Dagdag Feb 14 '12 at 15:13

Try communicating directly with the [serial port](http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/topic/37361-serial-port-communication-in-vbnet/) using the given tutorial, looks good on first sight. – Maarten Bodewes Apr 14 '12 at 23:09

Use a serial-to-keyboard utility (such as http://www.brothersoft.com/redirect-serial-port-rs232-to-keyboard-61149.html or http://www.fileguru.com/apps/serial_port_to_keyboard) and use a simple textbox.
This way you get the bonus, that you can type the code, if the Reader can't read it (defective tag)

Okay okay. I get it sir. Do you have any code for converting the tag into a simple letter format? – Genesis John Dagdag Feb 14 '12 at 15:58
