	Samples, documentation and wizards simplify development: The Datacard® ID Works® Software Developer’s Kit provides documentation and easy-tounderstandsamples developed using Microsoft® Visual Studio.NET 2005.To help developers take advantage of all the available software features, these samples are written in Visual Basic.NET and Visual C++. Developers can also use wizards for Visual Basic.NET and Visual C# to get a helpful head start on new solutions.

	DATACARD® ID WORKS® SOFTWARE DEVELOPER'S KIT
Create custom solutions for your ID program With the Datacard® ID Works® Software Developer’s Kit (SDK), you can add new functions to your current configuration — or create a new, fully customized application using components of the ID Works software family. Either way, the ID Works SDK provides the tools you need for fast, easy custom development. • Powerful development platform. ID Works SDK features an open architecture, Microsoft® COM interfaces, and support for Microsoft® Visual Studio.NET 2005. It supports smart cards and encoders. Event handlers can customize printing, database access, data entry fields and the interface. Plus, you can control data validation, production screens pre-population, capture windows and event buttons. • Smart card capabilities. The ID Works SDK enables you to personalize smart cards as part of a secure inline card issuance process. Specifically, a smart card plug-in (proximity) simplifies smart card application management, alerting the smart card application each time a card enters your Datacard card printer’s smart card coupler. • Practical help for developers. The SDK lets you develop extensions to support virtually any card printer, and add card printing functions not supported in Windows® operating systems. It makes it easy to customize card production windows for image capture, printing or biometrics. And it allows your software to notify operators when a card is printed.
The ID Works SDK lets you start with the ID Works software module that best matches your current needs, then create a much more customized solution with features and functions specifically designed to suite your card issuance program.
