Check21 Component

Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors

The Check21 component is used to construct a file containing scanned images of paper checks, and optionally upload it to an FTPS server.

Syntax

DPayments.InPay.Check21

Remarks

An X9.37 file created by this component will contain the following records:

File Header Record (1)
Cash Letter Header Record (1)
Bundle Header Record (1)
Check detail record structure (0 to Checks.Count), which contains:
- Check Detail Record (1)
- Check Detail Addenda A (1)
- Front Image View Detail Record (0 or 1)
- Front Image View Data Record (0 or 1)
- Back Image View Detail Record (0 or 1)
- Back Image View Data Record (0 or 1)
Bundle Control Record (1)
Cash Letter Control Record (1)
File Control Record (1)

This component makes creating the above file very easy. First set the Origin fields with information about the institution that is originating this file, and the destination it is to be deposited to. Also set the ReturnRoutingNumber. Check21.Origin.OriginName = "First Bank of Thor" Check21.Origin.RoutingNumber = "111012822" Check21.Origin.ContactName = "Jake Olsen" Check21.Origin.ContactPhone = "800-555-5555" Check21.DestinationRoutingNumber = "051000321" Check21.DestinationName = "First Bank of Loki" Check21.ReturnRoutingNumber = "111012822" This file must be differentiated from other files, so now set the CashLetterId and CycleNumber properties, as well as the FileName. (Alternatively FileName may be left empty, and the component will write the file to memory and store it in the FileData property).

Check21.CashLetterId = "123456" Check21.CycleNumber = "01" Check21.FileName = "sample_output.dat" This file is going to contain scanned images of paper checks, so RecordType should be set to rtChecksAndImages and make sure the DocumentationType is set to a compatible value ("G" through "J" are valid when RecordType is rtChecksAndImages). Check21.RecordType = rtChecksAndImages Check21.DocumentationType = "G" This sample file is to contain only one check, but a real file may contain any number of checks. To add a check, create a new CheckDetail object and fill the fields with information read off the check's MICR line, as well as the Payee's name and the amount of the check. CheckDetail check = new CheckDetail() check.MICROnUs = "1234567890101" ' Account number on the check check.MICRRoutingNumber = "902113700" check.Amount = "50000" ' $500.00 check.SequenceNumber = "407" check.PayeeName = "Bruce Banner" Then set information about the Bank of First Deposit. This may be identical to the Origin. The BOFDConversionIndicator should also be set to "2" if this bank converted the original check into the image being included. check.BOFDRoutingNumber = "111012822" check.BOFDAccountNumber = "181818181818181818" check.BOFDBranch = "Asgard" check.BOFDConversionIndicator = "2" Finally, you must include images of the front and back of the check, and indicate the format and compression used to create those images. You may use FrontImageFileName and BackImageFileName fields to point to image files on disk, or you may set the binary data directly in FrontImageData and BackImageData. You also need to set a unique identifier that can be used to retrieve the images at a later date. check.ImageFormat = ifTIFF ' default check.ImageCompression = icJPEG ' default check.CanRecreateImages = True ' default check.FrontImageFileName = "front.jpg" check.FrontImageReferenceKey = "72234215front" check.BackImageFileName = "back.jpg" check.BackImageReferenceKey = "72234215back" Finally add the check image to the component's Checks collection. Check21.Checks.Add(check) Now call BuildFile to build the file and save it to the FileName you indicated earlier. If you have an FTPS server (TLS/SSL-secured FTP) to upload the files to, you may set the FTP fields and call BuildAndUploadFile method instead.

  sslpInternal
}

Public Property SSLProvider As Check21SSLProviders

Enum Check21SSLProviders
  sslpAutomatic
  sslpPlatform
  sslpInternal
End Enum

Default Value

Remarks

This property specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use. In most cases the default value of 0 (Automatic) is recommended and should not be changed. When set to 0 (Automatic), the component will select whether to use the platform implementation or the internal implementation depending on the operating system as well as the TLS version being used.

Possible values are as follows:


0 (sslpAutomatic - default)	Automatically selects the appropriate implementation.
1 (sslpPlatform)	Uses the platform/system implementation.
2 (sslpInternal)	Uses the internal implementation.

Additional Notes

In most cases using the default value (Automatic) is recommended. The component will select a provider depending on the current platform.

When Automatic is selected, on Windows, the component will use the platform implementation. On Linux/macOS, the component will use the internal implementation. When TLS 1.3 is enabled via SSLEnabledProtocols, the internal implementation is used on all platforms.

The .NET Standard library will always use the internal implementation on all platforms.

SSLServerCert Property (Check21 Component)

The server certificate for the last established connection.

  sslExplicit
  sslNone
End Enum

Default Value

Remarks

The SSLStartMode property may have one of the following values:


0 (sslAutomatic)	If the remote port is set to the standard plaintext port of the protocol (where applicable), the component will behave the same as if SSLStartMode is set to sslExplicit. In all other cases, SSL negotiation will be implicit (sslImplicit).
1 (sslImplicit)	The SSL negotiation will start immediately after the connection is established.
2 (sslExplicit)	The component will first connect in plaintext, and then will explicitly start SSL negotiation through a protocol command such as STARTTLS.
3 (sslNone - default)	No SSL negotiation; no SSL security. All communication will be in plaintext mode.

BuildAndUploadFile Method (Check21 Component)

Builds an X9.37 file and uploads it to an FTP server.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public void BuildAndUploadFile();

Public Sub BuildAndUploadFile()

Remarks

This method builds a complete X9.37 file and uploads it to the server specified in the RemoteHost field. If an FileName is specified, it will be saved on the local disc as well. If FileName contains only a path (FileName must terminate in a "/" or "\"), that path will be used to create a temporary file which will be deleted after the upload.

Config Method (Check21 Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public string Config(string configurationString);

Public Function Config(ByVal ConfigurationString As String) As String

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the component.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

DoEvents Method (Check21 Component)

This method processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public void DoEvents();

Public Sub DoEvents()

Remarks

When DoEvents is called, the component processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

Interrupt Method (Check21 Component)

This method interrupts the current method.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public void Interrupt();

Public Sub Interrupt()

Remarks

If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.

Reset Method (Check21 Component)

Reset the internal state of the component and all properties to their default values.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public void Reset();

Public Sub Reset()

Remarks

The Reset method doesn't have any parameters and doesn't return any value.

Error Event (Check21 Component)

Information about non-fatal errors encountered during file construction.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public event OnErrorHandler OnError;

public delegate void OnErrorHandler(object sender, Check21ErrorEventArgs e);

public class Check21ErrorEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public int ErrorCode { get; }
  public string Description { get; }
}

Public Event OnError As OnErrorHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnErrorHandler(sender As Object, e As Check21ErrorEventArgs)

Public Class Check21ErrorEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property ErrorCode As Integer
  Public ReadOnly Property Description As String
End Class

Remarks

The Error event is fired to warn the user that it may be operating differently than the user expects. For instance, if the CollectionType is set to ctNoDetail, but check detail records are provided in the Checks collection the component will fire this event indicating that the specified Checks were ignored.

ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (Check21 Component)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public event OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler OnSSLServerAuthentication;

public delegate void OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler(object sender, Check21SSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs e);

public class Check21SSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public string CertEncoded { get; }
  public byte[] CertEncodedB { get; }
  public string CertSubject { get; }
  public string CertIssuer { get; }
  public string Status { get; }
  public bool Accept { get; set; }
}

Public Event OnSSLServerAuthentication As OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler(sender As Object, e As Check21SSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs)

Public Class Check21SSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property CertEncoded As String
  Public ReadOnly Property CertEncodedB As Byte()
  Public ReadOnly Property CertSubject As String
  Public ReadOnly Property CertIssuer As String
  Public ReadOnly Property Status As String
  Public Property Accept As Boolean
End Class

Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (Check21 Component)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public event OnSSLStatusHandler OnSSLStatus;

public delegate void OnSSLStatusHandler(object sender, Check21SSLStatusEventArgs e);

public class Check21SSLStatusEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public string Message { get; }
}

Public Event OnSSLStatus As OnSSLStatusHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnSSLStatusHandler(sender As Object, e As Check21SSLStatusEventArgs)

Public Class Check21SSLStatusEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property Message As String
End Class

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

Status Event (Check21 Component)

Traces the commands sent to the server, and the respective replies.

public delegate void OnStatusHandler(object sender, Check21StatusEventArgs e);

public class Check21StatusEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public string Message { get; }
}

Public Event OnStatus As OnStatusHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnStatusHandler(sender As Object, e As Check21StatusEventArgs)

Public Class Check21StatusEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property Message As String
End Class

Remarks

The Status event is useful for debugging purposes. It shows all the interaction between the client and the server, line by line.

Certificate Type

This is the digital certificate being used.

Remarks

This type describes the current digital certificate. The certificate may be a public or private key. The fields are used to identify or select certificates.

The following fields are available:

Fields

Config Settings (Check21 Component)

The component accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

Check21 Config Settings

AllowAllBOFDIndicators: Allows for any value to be specified within the BOFDIndicator field.

The default value is False, indicating that the BOFDIndicator is limited to the allowable values listed.

ArchiveType: Indicates the type of archive that supports each Check in this file.

This code indicates the way the Checks are archived. Access method, availability, and timeframes shall be defined by clearing arrangements. Valid values for this field include:


" " (space)	Default value (not specified)
A	Microfilm.
B	Image.
C	Paper.
D	Microfilm and image.
E	Microfilm and paper.
F	Image and paper.
G	Microfilm, image, and paper.
H	Electronic Check Instrument.
I	None.

ASCIIOutput: Indicates whether to output ASCII or EBCDIC.

If set to True, the component will create check21 files using the ASCII character set instead of the default EBCDIC character set.

BOFDIndicator: Indicates whether the origin is also the bank of first deposit.

This code indicates whether the ECE institution specified in the Origin fields is the Bank of First Deposit (BOFD). Allowable values include:


Y	Indicates ECE institution is BOFD. (default)
N	Indicates ECE institution is not BOFD.
U	Indicates ECE institution relationship to BOFD is undetermined.

This setting is global for all checks.

BundleCount: Total number of bundles in the file.

By default, each cash letter contains one bundle. If you wish to specify multiple bundles, increase the BundleCount and then set the BundleIndex to the bundle you wish to operate on. The CycleNumber, ReturnRoutingNumber, and Checks properties should be set for each bundle contained in the file.

BundleCreationDate: The date the bundle is created.

The component normally uses the current system date when building the bundle inside a file. You can override this functionality by setting the BundleCreationDate manually through Config.

BundleId: Unique identifier for the bundle inside the Cash Letter.

The component normally uses the same CashLetterId as the BundleId when constructing a bundle header record. You can override this functionality by setting the BundleId manually through Config.

BundleIndex: Index of the current bundle.

CashLetterCreationDate: The date the cash letter is created.

The component normally uses the current system date when building the cash letter inside a file. You can override this functionality by setting the CashLetterCreationDate manually through Config.

CashLetterCreationTime: The time the cash letter is created.

The component normally uses the current system time when building a the cash letter inside a file. You can override this functionality by setting the CashLetterCreationTime manually through Config.

CheckIsCredit[i]: Indicates whether a Check is to be sent as a Credit (61) Record.

Valid array indices are from 0 to Checks.Count - 1.

When set to True, the Check at the specified index 'i' will be sent as a Credit Record (61) within the X9.37 file. The DocumentationType is used in the creation of this record as are the following Checks fields: MICRAuxOnUs, MICRProcessingCode, MICRRoutingNumber, MICROnUs, Amount, and SequenceNumber. The default value is False.

CountryCode: A code that identifies the country in which the payor bank is located.

The default is "US".

DetailAddendumRecordNumber: The Check Detail Addendum A Record Number.

This field is used to specify the record number within the Check Detail Addendum A Record. The default value used is '0' but can be changed with this field.

FedWorkType: Federal Reserve work type.

A code that specifies the Federal Reserve work type. Valid values include:


1	City.
2	City Group.
3	City Fine Sort.
4	RCPC.
5	RCPC Group.
6	RCPC Fine Sort.

0	Country Fine Sort.
A	Other District.
B	Other District Group Sort.
C	Mixed.
D	City/RCPC Mixed.
E	Payor Group Sort.

FileCreationDate: The date the file is created.

The component normally uses the current system date when building a file. You can override this functionality by setting the FileCreationDate manually through Config.

FileCreationTime: The time the file is created.

The component normally uses the current system time when building a file. You can override this functionality by setting the FileCreationTime manually through Config.

FileId: A code used to uniquely identify this file.

This 1-character code permits multiple files, created on the same date, same time, and between the same institutions to be distinguished from one another. This property is part of the File Header record (type 01), and has a default value of "0".

FileUserField: A User Field.

A field used at the discretion of users.

IncludeAddendA: Whether to include Detail Addendum A Record.

Whether to include Detail Addendum A Record (Record 26) in the file. Default value is True. If set to False the Detail Addendum A Record will not be included in the file.

Overwrite: Indicates whether local files can be overwritten.

If the file specified by FileName exists and Overwrite is False, BuildFile and BuildAndUploadFile will fail with an error indicating the file exists. Overwrite is true by default.

OverwriteRemoteFile: Indicates whether remote files can be overwritten on the FTP server.

If the file specified by RemoteFile exists and OverwriteRemoteFile is False, BuildAndUploadFile will fail with an error indicating the file exists. OverwriteRemoteFile is true by default.

ResendIndicator: Indicates whether the file being built has been previously transmitted in its entirety.

The default value for this setting is False.

ReservedField: A field reserved for future use.

A field reserved for future use by the Accredited Standards Committee X9.

ReturnAcceptance: A code that indicates whether the institution that creates this file will or will not support electronic return processing.

Valid values include:


0	Will not accept any electronic information (default).
1	Will accept preliminary return notifications, returns, and final return notifications.
2	Will accept preliminary return notifications and returns.

E	Will accept final return notifications and image returns.
F	Will accept image returns only.

TestFile: Indicates whether the file being built is a test file or a production file.

The default value for TestFile is False, indicating that production files are being construction.

Base Config Settings

BuildInfo: Information about the product's build.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

GUIAvailable: Whether or not a message loop is available for processing events.

In a GUI-based application, long-running blocking operations may cause the application to stop responding to input until the operation returns. The component will attempt to discover whether or not the application has a message loop and, if one is discovered, it will process events in that message loop during any such blocking operation.

In some non-GUI applications, an invalid message loop may be discovered that will result in errant behavior. In these cases, setting GUIAvailable to false will ensure that the component does not attempt to process external events.

LicenseInfo: Information about the current license.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a component is using. It will return the following information:

Product: The product the license is for.
Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.

MaskSensitiveData: Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.

In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to true to mask sensitive data. The default is true.

This setting only works on these components: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.

UseInternalSecurityAPI: Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation.

When set to false, the component will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable. In this case, calls to unmanaged code will be made. In certain environments, this is not desirable. To use a completely managed security implementation, set this setting to true.

Setting this configuration setting to true tells the component to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.

On Windows, this setting is set to false by default. On Linux/macOS, this setting is set to true by default.

If using the .NET Standard Library, this setting will be true on all platforms. The .NET Standard library does not support using the system security libraries.

Note: This setting is static. The value set is applicable to all components used in the application.

When this value is set, the product's system dynamic link library (DLL) is no longer required as a reference, as all unmanaged code is stored in that file.
