i'm kind of new to this. I'm using VB2008 and i need to write a code for recognizing a usb's details. like port number and letter and serial number if they have one. if i need to be more specific, then i have to say its for a machine that records data and i need to transfer that data over to my laptop through a gpib to usb cable. the cable has a specific "id" and i need to find that out and type it into the program interface that i'll make when i know how to detect that "id" so it can connect.i've read a few forum posts by others and they are really informative but not what i could use or i could not make it work.(yet)[URL]..and the other links posted there.for reading and helping. thats the clearest way i can explain. if anyone needs a more specific detail, just ask because i dont know if i left out anything else.
Hours of trawling the net and the closest I have come is to some C# examples.Does anyone know how I would be able to detect an ActiveSync connection in VB.NET for a a Windows XP app? What I want to do is get my app to detect a connection and check for a few files on the device, offering to transfer/ process them if available.
Im new to programming.I work for a research in Sri Lanka.In our research data is collected on windows mobile devices.I am the person who connects the devices(Known as JUNOs) and copy the data to the hard drive.But when Im not around others should copy the data.But they havent got IT knowledge.I want to create a simple software which detects the JUNOs when connected,show a message that a device is connected(Ex : JUNO1 is now connected),and then a button to copy and paste data to hard disk.(Ex: Press copy button to copy data)

I am working on a way to send commands to an Arduino board from a web site. The Arduino board is connected to the computer via a USB port (a COM port).
I have managed to connect and control the board using a VB.NET program. I also wrote a VB.NET class that can instantiate a COM connection and send and receive messages.
My next step is to basically create a program that will act as a proxy between my web server (IIS 7 running on Windows Vista) and the Arduino board. When a user gets to my ASP.NET page, the page will then send a command to the proxy to open the COM connection. When the connection is open and ready then I can send commands to the proxy. In turn, the proxy will send these commands to the board and listen for the responses it receives from the board. The proxy will then pass these messages back to the ASP.NET page.
The main issue I see occurring is that if a second user opens the web page and tries to open the COM port, there will be an error. Will this cause the first connection to fail? I guess I can first check if the port is already in use and give the second user a message. Are there any other potential challenges I am missing or not seeing?
I'm trying to connect to an external device using a serial port. I found a couple of tutorials with demo code and tried these. Unfortunately they all return the same gibberish unreadible result.[code]I'm sure my port settings are correct (I have the communication protocol of the device.)
I am developing a software that will monitor/poll serveral Modbus/TCP devices on a network.
I have managed to connect to one device using VB.Does anyone know of a driver or perhaps a 3rd party software I could use that will enable me to connect to more than one Modbus/TCP device?
Currently, i am trying to connect the EPP (Encrypted Pin Pad ) device to my computer by using mscomm control. May i know what are the possibility problems may cause the DSRHolding does not return to "True"?
I'm doing a project with vb.net (smart device) on visual studio 2008 and I need to connect to a database on the device itself (I do not have a physical device to test, only emulation). How should I go about doing it? I would like the database to be in the device on start up.
A Problem in accessing a device from VB Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because there is a duplicate device already running in the system. (Code 42) This error is because i am using 2 devices of the same company which has the mass usb storage on it and when i install one of the device the other hides. So one is detected the Other is not. It also give a error called designed dragnonacally something...
We have a VB.Net application which works fine in our tests in different Windows XP SP3 machines. However there is one machine in which is displaying this error:
Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts
Using the mysql command, we can successfully connect to the database. We already checked for any other application or firewall that could be blocking the connection but it seems fine. We also reinstalled the system (no errors during the installation) but the MySQL error message doesn't change.
The system settings are exactly the same as in the other computers. We are using "localhost" as server in the connection string. The "hosts" file has its default values (nothing strange in there).
I'm working on an application where I'm using an webcam image. I have code that works when using the built in iSight (It's an Apple running boot camp windows 7) camera. However after installing a second USB powered Microsoft Life Cam I am unable to connect to this second camera. When runnign this code I only ever get one input device:
Private Sub LoadDeviceList() Dim strName As String = Space(100) Dim strVer As String = Space(100)
I am trying to connect to my remote MySql Database within Visual Studio using the compact framework.
I can successfully add a data source and preview the data within the IDE so assume that the connection is ok regarding Connection strings and remote access.
However, when I attempt to access the data using any run time control I get the following error when the table is loaded using the .fill method.
MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException was unhandled ErrorCode=-2147467259 Message="Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts."

I have a query I am creating a Window App in vb.net (4.0) in which I have to use multiple databases although all databases are same with same db structure & stored procedures,just names are different. In the very starting of application, I need to give a option to the user that these are available db & user will select which one to connect & use.
So is it possible to detect how many db are available in the SQL Server through vb.net & how can achieve this (to provide options to the user) What would be the best approach?

I have a camera with a LiveView function (images aren�t snapped, but they are directly sent to my computer), which I managed to connect with VB.net, so I have got the image in a picture box on my form.The next thing I want to do, is to gather 3 spots from the image... The spots are all red, something very similar to #FF0000 (it is a camera + lights, etc... some tolerance needed). So, can anyone help me here?
I think the working "check list" could be something like this:
- Get red, green and blue channels separated
- Change green and blue into gray scale (100% blue / green = black, 0% b / g = transparent)
- Put these b / g both into 50% alpha and put them over the red (which means where is both green and blue = black, only one of them = 50% alpha black, none = transparent)
I was just wondering if it was possible to make vb 2008 detect if there is or is not sound.As in my project i want vb to detect when a video has stopped playing and then do something else. So i waqs thinking maybe i could detect when sound has stopped and then perform my other actions..
I want to be able to detect when the user presses F10 or Ctrl+F10 outside of my program, and upon receiving the key press, it will send text to whatever they currently have selected (e.g. a text box). How can this be accomplished in the simplest way?
