Topic: Begin with libnfc under visual studio 2008

Hello everyone.

I'd like to develop an application in C # leveraging libnfc.

Is anybody can help me to integrate libnfc under the Visual Studio 2008?

I would need some explanation of what can be done with this library and how it can integrate and operate.

I already managed to extract and compile the libnfc (mingw and win sdk V7.1).

I have a module with an NFC PN533.

Thank you in advance

Hi,

To be able to use libnfc from .NET you need to use platform invoke.
I don't know if someone every did this already for libnfc.
If not, there are many resources available online and on MSDN explaining how to this in .NET .

regards,
Glenn

Hello,

thank you for your reply Glenn.

So if I understand it to use libnfc I have to work with platform invoke.

I'll watch that.

I think I need to create a DLL. But I am not.

If someone using libnfc under visual studio, I'm happy he comes to explain how he did too

Re: Begin with libnfc under visual studio 2008

When I used win sdk 7.1 and mingw, it generated me a file:

"libnfc.dll"

is what I need to include this in my project?

Sorry but I do not know much about Visual Studio 2008 yet so I inform myself up.

I have a PN533.

I installed the XP drivers from NXP. my pc recognizes the circuit.

This will not be a problem with libnfc?

do I recreate a drivers for the PN533?

thank you

With reference to Managed Hosting Providers
Some steps need to be followed are :
Download the latest version of libnfc  and extract its contents. For PN533 and UART configure libnfc.
Then build and install libnfc. And finally try to read your 13.56MHz card.
