Thanks a lot for your great article. I followed all your points specified to configure the Phidget RFID Kit in BizTalk RFID 2009 Beta. The new compiled DSPI can be joined smoothly, but I was not able to discover Phidget RFID Devices nor adding the Phidget RFID Device manually.

I’m using BizTalk 2009 Beta in a vmware. The Phidget RFID Device is accessable via RFID-Full.exe. I opened the PhidgetDevices Src project in Visual Studio 2008, changed the following References (Microsoft.Rfid.Util 3.7.0.0, Microsoft.Rfid.SpiSdk 3.7.0.0, Microsoft.PhidgetDevices 0.9.0.0) and compiled the project (Target Framework .NET 2.0). After registering the output assemblies in the GAC, I added and started the device provider in the RFID Management Console. So far so good, the last step was adding a Device. Auto Discover did not recognize the connected device, so I’ve tried to add it manually. The following error message did occur: “Failed to open a connection to the Phidget RFID device with serial number []. The device requested is not attached to this computer.” So I tried to specify the serialnumber printed on the Phidget device. After that, the following error message came up: “The provider Phidget has either not been started or has encountered an error. Restart the provider in the service…”

Do you have an idea what went wrong?

Thanks a lot for your support!

Cheers, D.
