USB RFID reading tag using C# connected through serial port

问题

I have manage to connect to my RFID devices through USB port with a console application using the code below

    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using System.Net;
    using System.Net.Sockets;
    using System.IO.Ports;
    using System.Threading;
    using System.Windows.Forms;
    using Gtk;

    namespace Testing1
    {
        public class Testing1
        {
            public static SerialPort iSerialPort = new SerialPort();

            static int Main() 
            {
                string strException = string.Empty;
            string strComPort = "COM17";
                int nBaudrate=Convert.ToInt32(9600);

                int nRet = OpenCom(strComPort, nBaudrate, out strException);
                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;
            }

            public static int OpenCom(string strPort, int nBaudrate, out string strException)
            {

                strException = string.Empty;

                if (iSerialPort.IsOpen)
                {
                    iSerialPort.Close();
                }

                try
                {
                    iSerialPort.PortName = strPort;
                    iSerialPort.BaudRate = nBaudrate;
                    iSerialPort.ReadTimeout = 3000;
                    iSerialPort.DataBits = 8;
                    iSerialPort.Parity = Parity.None;
                    iSerialPort.StopBits = StopBits.One;
                    iSerialPort.Open();
                }
                catch (System.Exception ex)
                {
                    strException = ex.Message;
                    return -1;
                }



                return 0;
            }
        }
    }

However, now i would like to read data from a RFID tag. Is it possible through console application? Or do i have to have a normal GUI application? The application should allow multiple tag read every time a tag is within the reading range.

Please see my answers below:

It's possible to read data using a console application

In order to read data you need to subscribe to DataReceived event like below:

    SerialPort mySerialPort = new SerialPort("COM1");
    mySerialPort.BaudRate = 9600;
    mySerialPort.Parity = Parity.None;
    mySerialPort.StopBits = StopBits.One;
    mySerialPort.DataBits = 8;
    mySerialPort.Handshake = Handshake.None;

    mySerialPort.DataReceived += new SerialDataReceivedEventHandler(DataReceivedHandler);

    mySerialPort.Open();

You have to check in what COM does your computer recognice the reader. Start - Control Panel - Device Admin - PORTS (COM and LPT) and change it in the code of Toan Nguyen.
