Tips & Tricks:

Please add some!

Sample Code:

UInt32 nbReaders = 1;

SCARD_READERSTATE[] readerState = new SCARD_READERSTATE[nbReaders];

readerState[0].szReader = "Reader X";

readerState[0].dwCurrentState = (UInt32)SCardState.UNAWARE;

errorCode = SCardGetStatusChange(hContext, 0, readerState, nbReaders);

Please add some!mmmmmm
