I want to connect to an Ingenico iCT250 POS device through a c# package. I am using this one . I followed the instructions on their readme and tried to connect. When I run, after a few seconds the program closes and I got this message.
C:\Users\User\Documents\c#\pos\pos\bin\Debug\net6.0\pos.exe (process 22480) exited with code 0.
I don't understand why I got this exit code. What is happening?
Is the code wrong? Or there are problems with the cable? How can I research a solution?
Or is it connected because I read that "Saying that the Process finished with exit code 0 means that everything worked ok."? But if everything was okay, the posDevice.IsConnected
should have returned either true
or false
.
I tried also with passing the port only in new POS. But same result.
Here is the code:
class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
POS posDevice = new POS("COM4", 115200);
posDevice.Connect();
Console.WriteLine("IsConnected??", posDevice.IsConnected);
}
}
exited with code 0.
means that nothing went wrong with your code (in terms of Exceptions).
but there's two logical problems with your code:
1 - you're not actually writing the result of your test, because you didn't include a placeholder in your format.
so try changing it to:
Console.WriteLine("IsConnected?? {0}", posDevice.IsConnected);
2 - after your program is done, it immediately exits - closing the console window, and hiding the output from you.
so add the following to the end of your Main
:
Console.ReadLine();
that way, your program waits for your user input before exiting, keeping the console window open for you to read the result.
the code in total:
class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
POS posDevice = new POS("COM4", 115200);
posDevice.Connect();
Console.WriteLine("IsConnected?? {0}", posDevice.IsConnected);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
