Hey all,
So the boss wants a Kiosk in the lobby in the next 6 months, fun right? Just seeing if anyone has created their own Kiosk program and can give some feedback. I am under the impression that ASP.NET cannot talk to hardware like the BOCA printer of card swipe so what application does one use to create a Kiosk application?

Hi Christian,
I have not looked into the kiosks yet. I would think you could create a windows application which then could talk to the printer and card swipe. The windows app could then have a reference to the web api so that it can process the sale.

Thanks for the response John. I think you are correct, we will right a client side .net program that calls the webapi as a service. So it won't be a web app at all.

I'm not sure if this would fit your requirements, but the Network does have a Kiosk application; you can find more information here. If you'd like to contact someone at the Network with questions, I suggest starting with Kristin Tigart.
Hope that helps,
Todd
