You should probably research the topic of Smart Cards.

I haven't ever seen a "simulator" for a smart card reader and it is highly likely that your code is going to be dependent on the information that the readers send you.

It is also highly likely that you are going to have to contact the company that creates the reader that you are considering to be able to communicate with it using their drivers or other type of software development kit (SDK).

Please be advised, most of us can NOT open attachments from unknown sources because we mainly fit answering questions into our spare time at work. Because of this, such files are usually prohibited by company policy(s) from being downloaded/opened.

If you would really like help with this, then please take the time to extract the code from your attachments and place the text in-line.

Please ensure that you format the script using the [CODE/] format button in the post toolbar.

Another thing to note: Posting code without any basic troubleshooting done by the programer is discouraged. We like to lend a hand; however, the available time is often quite limited to small fragments/blocks during the day which isn't the best for reviewing large blocks of code.

Most likely Frinavale has the best answer here, you'll need to contact the manufacture of the reader you are developing code for and obtain their SDK.
