I am working on an application that required reading the mifare card serial number, the language I am working with is C#.
I am new to mifare reader programming, so I am sorry for asking dumb question.
At first I would like to know if there is a different between Mifare UID and Mifare Serial number.
I have managed to get UID with the help of WinSCard library, but I cant figure it out how to get the card serial number which should be 10 digit numbers.
I do appreciate if you could point me to the right direction.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Regards
C# signature of SCardTransmit method
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct SCARD_IO_REQUEST
{
public int dwProtocol;
public int cbPciLength;
}
[DllImport("winscard.dll")]
public static extern int SCardTransmit(int hCard, ref SCARD_IO_REQUEST pioSendRequest, ref byte SendBuff, int SendBuffLen, ref SCARD_IO_REQUEST pioRecvRequest,
ref byte RecvBuff, ref int RecvBuffLen);
Code Example for read UID of mifare card
private SmartcardErrorCode GetUID(ref byte[] UID)
{
byte[] receivedUID = new byte[10];
UnsafeNativeMethods.SCARD_IO_REQUEST request = new UnsafeNativeMethods.SCARD_IO_REQUEST();
request.dwProtocol = 1; //SCARD_PROTOCOL_T1);
request.cbPciLength = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(UnsafeNativeMethods.SCARD_IO_REQUEST));
byte[] sendBytes = new byte[] { 0xFF, 0xCA, 0x00, 0x00, 0x04 }; //get UID command for Mifare cards
int outBytes = receivedUID.Length;
int status = SCardTransmit(_hCard, ref request, ref sendBytes[0], sendBytes.Length, ref request, ref receivedUID[0], ref outBytes);
UID = receivedUID.Take(8).ToArray();
return status;
}
