Net 2.0 SDK

Software Development Kit (SDK)

The .NET Smart Card Framework SDK includes the Card Explorer, a tool for managing .NET cards, and code templates, examples for creating client and server applications that access .NET smart card services.

The Card Explorer (also available as an add-in to Visual Studio .NET) simplifies .NET smart card management with these important functions:

• Viewing card contents

• Managing card assemblies, data files, and directories

• Managing user authentication according to the requirements of the current Access Manager

• Creating and deleting services on the card

The .NET Smart Card Framework sample code templates aid in creating server applications and client applications that can access services running on a .NET card. You can choose to install Visual C++ templates, Visual Basic templates, or both. Each programming language set includes these two templates:

• netCard Server template (for creating a server project)

• netCard Client Console template (for creating a client project)

Some components in the .NET Smart Card Framework SDK reside on the client machine:

• Gemalto.Smart Card.Runtime - A library containing the client side remoting, CardAccessor, and the IAccessManagerClient interface.

• C++ Marshaller - allows application developers to concentrate on building service interfaces on the card without worrying about the implementation of the APDU transport protocol.

• Redistributables - The .NET Card components required to deploy your application.

The .NET Smart Card Framework SDK enhances the process of software development through a useful combination of smart card management tools, sample application templates, and other helpful hints and workarounds.
