Start by searching in Google for reading data from magnetic card reader.

Talk to the vendor. They will help you better. As much as I know there are different settings inside the device, depending on that settings the device returns data. You may need to change the settings.

Normally, the device ships with a sample application. Does the device work with the sample application?

Depending on the magstripe reader, it can work either with serial port or HID (in this case, the data will come in as keyboard strokes)

In C# its pretty easy to integrate a magstripe reader in the code. Just manage the serial port or keyboard strokes depending on your device settings.

Enjoy!

Nothing is happening when you swipe the card? Is it even a working card, or a working reader?
