There is no single way of using USB in VB. Each device comes with its own device driver and its own means of interfacing with it through VB or any other application programming environment. Consult the documentation that comes with the smartcard reader device. Chances are, they have simulated a COM port. In that case you would access the device from VB the same as you would access any "normal" COM port in Windows.
