Good afternoon to all,
Staff I am with the following question, how can I access a device/device connected to customer usb through an application made in Asp . Net MVC? The idea is to access a biometric reader connected to the client’s computer.
I’ve looked for some alternatives like Activex and Silverlight, but from what I’ve researched Activex works only on I.E and the Silverlight seems to me outdated (at least the tutorials and research related to the subject). I saw that it is possible to work in this way with Blazor and Asp . Net Core, however, it would be impossible to change the project at the moment. I thank those who can help.
I did not understand why closed the question, I found a great question, I even have interest in knowing tbm.

@Renan, because he is a friend, it is not today that do this, the question is clear and objective, I do not want code ready, I just want a suggestion or whether it is possible or not, simple like this. Meanwhile, the same guy who closed the topic answered this question: "In what language was HTTP written?" in 2 minutes of searching Google you find the answer, but it is answered and open to generate a "dots".

The question must have been closed because . NET does not have native support for direct communication with USB. This communication should be done by Win32 API via Interop. See this article: https://www.developerfusion.com/article/84338/making-usb-c-friendly/ or look for a lib that communicates with USB. PS: the equipment does not provide a communication lib?
