Reading MyKad using Visual Basic
It seems that a lot of people asking how to read MyKad using Visual Basic, but since I don’t have the slightest idea on how to code in VB, I started to search around. To my surprise, Xenon (the one who reverse engineered MyKad to get the APDU) actually wrote a small application in VB to read MyKad. So, for those who can’t afford to buy SDK from commercial company, you can download the code here for FREE !
Have you try program the MyKad reader to read passport, driving license, medical, biometric data?

I’m sorry I can’t be much of a help in Visual Basic. As I said in my post, this is not my codes.
However, my advice is that you actually don’t integrate this program into your code, you need to learn how to send APDU commands to your reader based on the codes.
Read the code line by line if you have to. Then you’ll understand how it works and then you can create your own.

I’ve successfully loaded it in Visual Studio, I’m not sure about your problem since I’m not a Visual Studio user. Maybe you should try recreating the project ?

I’m pretty sure a little googling will tell you on how to do that, besides, the main point of this post is about reading MyKad, not about database application. A little tip for you, the data from MyKad is just your usual data, so, saving them into database is not different from others.
